Helen Langehanenberg teaches a lesson with one of her trainers on a five year old. They first look for looseness and suppleness with stretching in the warm up. When they move on to the work, Helen asks that he be sitting and uphill in the movements. In the canter they work on walk canter transitions, making sure that he is stepping up from behind for the transition. In counter canter Helen still requires he travel uphill.

He shows great relaxation through the movements and they end the session in a free walk.
