Karen rides a horse over two days to improve his general engagement, balance, and power. They focus especially on his canter departs and balance at the canter, where he tends to sprawl and become difficult to steer. You will see the process of changing the horse's way of moving by challenging him to do the canter depart differently. This video is great for anyone who feels like their horse needs more engagement and power in the trot but sprawls in the canter departs and canter.
