Process

Begin at the trot over the four ground poles in the center (either to the left or right), then pick up the canter (left or right lead) from the markers at the end of the line, and canter over the two ground poles placed next to the four trot poles. After cantering over the poles, transition back to trot after passing the markers at the end of the line. Trot over the four ground poles again, and then pick up the canter on the opposite diagonal after the markers. Repeat the exercise as many times as desired.
