This horse and rider are new to each other, and Dr. Moller begins by reviewing the importance of riding the corners. As they go to the canter they get some breaks, and he reminds the rider to use her inside leg to outside rein as in the corners. He requires that the horse does not lean on the bit pointing out it will cause problems later. They do some precision work on the departs, and then work on collecting into the walk.
