Goal(s)
Improve the horse's responsiveness, attention, balance, and core strength.
Process
The aim of the exercise is to make transitions increasingly closer together (within the horse's physical and mental limits).
We will start at a walk with 15 strides, then transition with 15 strides of trot, then move to 12, then 10, then 7, then 5, then 3. Then we can include the canter, with 10 strides of trot, then 10 of canter, gradually reducing. Depending on the session's progress, transitions can become more complex by moving from walk to canter or vice versa. It's up to you to adjust based on your horse's training progress.
Difficulties
Easy, adaptable according to the horse's level.

or your horse to properly engage his thoracic sling, you’ll need him to be: - relaxed - in a rather low-head posture The spiral exercise helps develop lateral balance, which means the horse mobilizes his thoracic sling alternately on the right and left sides. Because this exercise involves riding on curves, often quite tight ones, be careful not to ask for it too long or too often. If your horse is young, has trouble finding his own balance, or has physical issues that show up on tight curves, limit this exercise to a few minutes each direction and prioritize wide curves (like the large spiral).
