Upper Level Aids
U.S. Olympian Steffen Peters helps this pair confirm their aids for upper level movements including canter pirouettes, piaffe and passage. This 7-part series offers exercises to improve the pirouettes with an emphasis on correctness.

Upper Level Aids, Part 1
Steffen begins by explaining that correcting any issue comes from the use of the only three aids: leg, reins and seat. They work on going from medium canter to a pirouette canter on the long sides. It proves more difficult on the centerline, but is great preparation for the pirouettes.

Upper Level Aids, Part 2
They now apply more productive and responsive half halts within the trot to ask for transitions between passage and piaffe.
