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.

While helping riders individually execute a turn on the forehand movement, Anne teaches riders about coordinating aids in order to communicate effectively through the flat exercises. Anne demonstrates the turn on the forehand process while on a student's horse to show the correct way to clearly a...

Anne helps riders to correctly move their horses through the leg yield exercise to increase the rider's ability to feel how to correctly execute each step of the movements.

The third element, a vertical placed one stride away from the oxer, is added to the combination line. As riders continue to work on straightness, position, and connection, their positions begin to improve as well as their ability to remain straight before, during, and after the combination. Rider...

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 strai...

Riders warm up by trotting over a single crossrail and halting straight on the back side. Anne walks riders through the importance of two point and half seat position throughout the process as well as straightness within the halt on the backside.

Anne continues with the cavalletti exercises as she helps riders to relax into the exercise of having the horse and rider trot over the first two cavalletti within the line and then walk over the last cavalletti. She then increases the difficulty of the exercise by having the riders canter over c...

Anne introduces the first cavalletti exercise to the group, which consists of multiple transitions over the track of three cavalletti. This begins to increase the leg to hand connection between horse and rider while asking the horse different questions.

Anne breaks down the importance of effective communication with the horses. In order to establish a responsive conversation on the flat, Anne explains how each rider must feel their horse and understand the proper coordination of their leg and hand aids.
