We join Daniel Martin Dockx in Spain as he rides the 8 year old Oxido, a pure Spanish horse showing PSG. He begins his session with 15 minutes of walk with very long reins and then picks up the trot while stretching without changing his speed. He shows a great example of collecting the steps while remaining in the same frame. They go to the canter asking for this same frame in the transition and the gait. They show collection and lengthening in the canter with the same stretch, and when he goes the other direction he gets a strong depart, but continues working in the same frame. They end the warm up with a lovely stretching walk.
