Steffen Peters – Schooling an Upper-Level Pony – Day 2 Trot Work

14m 5s

Trot work is saved for the end of the ride. Steffen Peters and the clinic rider try schooling some passage, half-pass and half-steps that are in front of the leg. If the pony starts to lag in the tempo or cadence, Steffen suggests freshening the trot with a few steps of rising trot or even canter. Strength should be used to make the horse go forward, not to maintain a gait or movement.
