"Dressage Through The Levels", graciously hosted at Fairwind Farm, CA, Janet and Debbie will help clinic participants to surmount current roadblocks and find their way forward, perhaps even moving up a level. In this video, there is an important discussion of scoring and the use of the double bridle, they go on to work the lateral movements, shoulder in, half pass and then finish with the medium and extended gaits.
In this section the horse loses the forward movement once they go sideways so works begins on fixing this. Debbie emphasizes that you need to ride more forward with the outside leg so the horse doesn't think of changing leads in the half pass.
Get a clear picture of what the release is actually supposed to look like and understand the spirit of this movement so you can increase your score. This movement is one that almost any horse, get easily get an 8 on.
Janet emphasizes that at this level the goal is to show that your horse can take more weight on the hind end and can spend time on the hind leg. In this session they work on connection issues and getting a better flying change by making sure your horse is REALLY on your aids. They work a great exercise for ensuring this is true. They also deal with a horse that is anticipating the flying change and how to gain obedience and how to keep proper rhythm.
This newly introduced movement is demonstrated. Poll position is shown and discussed.
Janet emphasizes that larger better pirouettes are preferred and receive better scores than smaller and less accurate pirouettes. After the pirouette they want you to make sure you really go FORWARD for a good change. They work on quickening the rhythm, and allowing the horse to only turn once he is lite in the hand. Great exercises are shown to help you school this at home.
Work on REALLY showing the transition to collection in and out. They work on using the shoulder in to improve the extension.
Set up is SOOO important, showing that you MUST get the inside bend before asking for the sideways. Many exercises are used to better this movement as it is broken down into pieces to make it easier to improve.

New Video-Intermediare
points out that in the earlier stages of training the piaffe, it is most important to get the horse to pick up the hind feet and hold it up for a moment, or dwell, to get a dwelling reaction is key. Other key points are made and can be heard within the video viewing. New Video-Intermediare/Grand Prix Tempi Changes They work with slightly crooked changes and how to create better changes at this level and a very real discussion ensues over what is realistic for the horse you have. New Video-Grand Prix, Pirouette Work Janet points out that the flying change after the pirouette is on the diagonal line, not at the rail or on the straight side. This is extremely important.
