Square halts (or not, in our case)

It's been a good weekend sportswise. Man City beat Man United in the semi-final of the F.A, Cub and our boy Lewis won the Chinese Grand Prix!
I've been continuing with Remy, a short session every day. Friday, I lunged him and for the first time got canter on the lunge. It wasn't very good and it was only a few strides, but it was there. It also improved the trot that followed.
The last couple of days have been quite busy, but I managed a session yesterday working in-hand on halt/walk/rein-back transitions, concentrating on getting a square halt (something, I'm ashamed to say, I've neglected). Today, I had two short sessions, one in the morning, the other this afternoon, working on the same thing and he was very calm and attentive. The halts, although not square behind were much better in-front.
