Lateral work, flying changes & piaffe Justyna and Jedi - May 2013
Transitions
•
22m
Karen coaches a student, Justyna, through some exercises for lateral work, flying changes, and piaffe. The video includes a little of the warm up also. Jedi is a very sensitive horse who can get tight out of a huge desire to please, (a lovely problem), so it requires that the rider stays relaxed, precise, focused, and close to him with her aids.
This video is excellent for anyone doing these movements who wants some new ideas, or patterns.
