Advanced

This section contains downloads that work towards greater levels of collection and cadence in the trot, encouraging engagement of the hind quarters, lightening of the forehand and enabling the more challenging advanced movements to be performed. With greater differences between the paces, collection and extension the work can begin towards the half steps in trot, leading to passage and later piaffe. The lateral work now becomes more established moving through shoulder-in, travers, renvers and half pass. The moment of suspension in canter, now being increased through various exercises leads nicely into the flying changes and canter pirouettes.
