Anne has the riders tie their reins in a knot to ride one-handed for balance and lightness. They start out riding on the flat doing transitions between the gaits, circles and stopping straight. Typically Anne prefers the riders hold the rein with their outside hand because riders tend to hold too...

Anne has the riders drop their stirrups to work on their seat in the canter work. They do counter canter to see if the rider's aids are correct and if the horses are balanced and responding to the aids as well as collection and going forward in canter.

They continue the warm-up practicing shoulder-in in walk and sitting trot. They also work again with the knot in the reins to help steady their arms and hands, which helps the horses be more responsive.

The third group starts warming up in the posting trot. Anne has them focus on the basic position with steady arms and hands. She has the riders test the horses to make sure they go forward off the leg with an easy aid, and then leg yield without their stirrups to make sure the horses will move la...

Anne thanks her sponsors and welcomes back the riders and auditors for Day 2 of the 2022 Market Street clinic.

They start with warming up over a small crossrail with the focus on stopping straight after the jump. Prior to the jump, the riders count out loud eight strides to help them keep a tempo and see a distance.

Anne has the riders do a course with the riders keeping the hands off the horses' necks by riding with their hands turned over on the reins. The riders are not able balance on their hands, and this helps the horses build confidence.

They jump the same lines with the focus on adding and leaving out strides. Anne wants them to focus on pace and direction to get the proper number of strides each time. Again they stop straight at the end of the exercise.

Next they do a small course with straight and bending lines. Anne wants the riders to count strides out loud and focus on doing as little as possible while keeping the horses relaxed with steady pace and straight track.

To focus on smoothness, they do eight strides on a diagonal to a six stride line on the outside and then halt in a straight line. Anne wants the riders to count strides out loud and focus on being relaxed with smooth lines.

They continue to school shoulder-in. Anne reminds the riders that their shoulders need to align with the horses' shoulders and the horse shold be bent in the direction of travel. They finish the warm-up with canter and hand gallop, including riding in two-point position and full seat.

They school shoulder-in while maintaining a forward walk and trot. Anne reminds the riders to make sure the horses' haunches stay on the track so that they don't drift in too much. Next they school shoulder-out. These exercises help the horse respond to the rider as well as build strength.

They start the jumping session by trotting over a single crossrail and then stopping straight on a specific line. Anne wants the riders to focus on the horse going quietly forward, the rider sitting in the saddle before and after the fence and focusing straight ahead on the point where they want ...

To end the session, Anne has each rider jump a complete course. Riders count strides out loud to help with rhythm and distance. Again, she wants riders to do as little as possible to avoid interfering with the horse. She finishes the session with a review of the day and stresses how riders need t...

The next line they focus on is a broken line where Anne asks them first to collect and do it in eight strides and then asks them to lengthen their horses' strides and do the line in seven strides. She wants the riders to focus on collecting the horses and then allowing them to go easily forward. ...

Anne starts to build up to riding a complete course by adding a six-stride line after cantering the crossrail on the diagonal. Following the line they are to stop straight at the end of the arena. She has the riders count strides out loud to get a better idea of their rhythm and distance.

Anne has the riders go into 2-point position and canter the crossrail while counting out loud the eight strides before the fence. They then have to stop at a specific point she has picked. She wants the riders to focus on rhythm, straightness and accuracy.

Anne has the riders canter in both directions with the focus on sitting in the saddle. She also has them canter without stirrups to further get the feel of a deep seat.

As the warm-up progresses, Anne has riders drop their stirrups and work on leg yielding. They also do trot/halt transitions. All of this is to test/work on the responsiveness of the horses to the aids. Anne notes that there were big improvements over day 1.

This group of novice riders/horses begins to warm-up similarly to day 1. They start with walk and trot, and Anne goes through a rider's position checklist to keep the horses moving forward.

After thanking all her great sponsors of the three-day clinic, along with their contributions to the clinic, Anne meets the riders. Each rider introduces themselves to Anne and gives a brief background on themselves and their horses before starting the second session.

Riders work on the importance of straightness within the gate and how their straightness relates to pace. Along with the straightness of their horses, riders also work on lengthening and shortening of the trot to engage in a proper connection on the flat.

Utilizing both shortening and lengthening exercises at the canter, riders increase the effectiveness of their aids. While increasing the effectiveness of their aids, Anne helps to guide riders to improve their position to also help their horses improve on the flat.

Anne talks riders through how to use their aids in a coordinated manner to execute a proper turn on the haunch.
