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.
