Janet talks through the geometry of the canter zig zag with special attention paid to getting a horse with this big of a stride to get the strides in.  With greater response from the outside leg, the zig zag improves.

Focus on relaxation through the movements with Andreas Helgstrand

Juan Manuel Munoz Diaz shows us the initial stages of introducing the piaffe and passage as demonstrated with two beautiful Lusitanos. Watch for his inspirational approach to building the foundation for correct and relaxed movements.

Catherine Haddad demonstrates how to ride the canter zig-zag with additional emphasis on collected canter and leg yield.

Dani Dockx conducts a lesson with a Lusitano stallion competing at I1 beginning with a lovely forward trot. He asks for the canter to go forward and collect, go forward and collect while keeping the contact. The medium canter is conservative, so they work on making it bigger.
