The next line they focus on is a broken line where Anne asks them first to collect and do it in eight strides and then asks them to lengthen their horses' strides and do the line in seven strides. She wants the riders to focus on collecting the horses and then allowing them to go easily forward. She also stresses that the riders need to do less. If they get too busy with their hands, seat and legs, they tend to disrupt the horses.
