In this video, Karen coaches 2 students in 2 different exercises involving transitions at markers. Both exercises are gymnastic puzzles that require collectibility and more refined communication between horse and rider because they require doing 2 transitions only a few strides apart. This video is great for anyone who has working gaits and is looking to build more engagement. Another video called " Think-Do-Think " gives a deeper look at another concept embedded in this exercise.
