Work area

Round pen

Necessary equipment

1 Hoop (1m in diameter)

Goal(s)

Perform all types of upward and downward transitions by voice on a circle. Horse autonomy and connection.

Process

Step 1, request simple transitions, walk/halt, halt/walk, walk/trot… The horse remains on its circle.
Step 2, complex transitions, trot/halt, walk/canter, halt/trot etc.
Step 3, regularly perform changes of rein followed by complex upward transitions (example: halt, change of rein by moving the haunches then shoulders, halt to trot departure)
Step 4: all transitions are requested by voice, the rider remains in place and no longer follows the horse, which circles around with autonomy.
