16m
Anne starts to build up to riding a complete course by adding a six-stride line after cantering the crossrail on the diagonal. Following the line they are to stop straight at the end of the arena. She has the riders count strides out loud to get a better idea of their rhythm and distance.

Anne has the riders canter in both directions with the focus on sitting in the saddle. She also has them canter without stirrups to further get the feel of a deep seat.

Day 2 Session 1 - Flat Warm-up - Part 2
As the warm-up progresses, Anne has riders drop their stirrups and work on leg yielding. They also do trot/halt transitions. All of this is to test/work on the responsiveness of the horses to the aids. Anne notes that there were big improvements over day 1.
