We join Steffen Peters with this Third Level pair as they are doing their trot work in their warm up. Steffen works with the rider to make sure she presents a trot and canter that looks easier and less against the bridle. He looks to have the length of the horse's frame more adjustable and show more suppleness in his collection.
