Schooling an Upper-Level Pony – Flying Changes

7m 20s

They start with flying changes on the long side slightly off the rail so that there is some room for straightening the horse or moving him a little off the leg. Steffen emphasizes the need for straightness before asking for the change. He also wants the rider to use the legs as the primary aids and try not to use too much seat aid. He wants her to sit more quietly.
