Karen coaches a student who is schooling Third Level dressage to increase her mare’s activity and responsiveness. The goal was to better her skills for collectibility and to improve the quality of her flying changes. You will see the beginning of setting up the pattern, and how to use it during a dressage session, as well as the steps to cause more engaged and active flying changes.
This video is great for anyone with a lower energy horse who needs help keeping the activity up. It is especially good for anyone schooling flying changes whose horse may get too flat or on the forehand during them.
