I had some nice work on Willow today. Here's a video of a little right-lead canter.
Not too far in, she breaks to trot for a poop break, because heaven forbid Willow should ever realize she can canter and poop at the same time. The poor dear would not last long in the wild.
Other than that one break, I'm happy with how this looks. She's more elevated, but not bracing against my hand for the most part. She's quite straight. I'm asking for a bit of lengthening on the long sides, and I can see the canter jump get bigger. For my part, I'm remembering to keep my hands low and not to shove my inside leg forward. I think the whole thing looks pretty harmonious.
The trot work was very satisfactory, too. I feel like right now we're making a little progress with every ride.

Glad to see you wearing you helmet. And yes, it does look like she's lengthening down the long sides.
Looks lovely! Thanks for posting the video.
