The first, most advanced pair, go with an emphasis on staying straight and off the left leg especially when turning left. The second pair is more green and show great growth for a five-year-old thoroughbred by remaining rideable in a combination even after getting in long. The last pair, the speedy Appaloosa, work on big, slow steps and lead changes after the fence where the balance is maintained.
