The combination exercise changes from a single crossrail to a crossrail, one stride to oxer combination while still halting on the backside. In addition to expanding the combination exercise, Anne also has riders drop their stirrups on the landing of the combination as the riders go to halt straight. By having the riders drop their stirrups, they increase the depth of their seats and balance of aids while stopping straight.
