Actually, gaiting and trotting are the only times when I don't have to
"drive" him under me to round nicely.  He tends to hollow at a canter, or at
least until he has been really, really warmed up.  This is unfortunately a
training issue.  He was run in rodeo/playdays for most of his life, and
asking him to canter leaves him looking for the first barrel, with short
choppy strides and lots of wasted action as he tries to anticipate when the
"go" signal is going to come.

Make sure he doesn't hollow his back as a result.
