Olympic medalist Sven Rothenberger continues his work with Endel Ots and the Dutch gelding Lion King. Praising the horse and offering a short moment of relaxation helps avoid tension. Sven wants Endel to make clear transitions between medium and collected gaits. It's important to warm Lion King up well, work hard and ensure he ends every session relaxed. Endel works on canter movements, shoulder-in, counter canter, voltes and changes. Be conscious in every movement, keep the quality and don't compromise, Sven explains. If mistakes happen, repeat the situation without stress. Keep positive energy and flow to make both horse and rider happy.
