The Rider's Seat, Ride 5
Susanne has JJ hold a sponge/straw tool in her hands, which acts as a visual to help keep her hands from turning down.

The Rider's Seat, Ride 6
Susanne works with this rider and her nice young horse to help him find the outside rein without restricting the outside bend. They also work on a three-corner exercise, which helps prepare the inside hind leg for collection and the outside shoulder for extension.
