Part 1: Leslie has the riders bring their feed into the correct position in the stirrup irons as they warm up with walk, trot and halt transitions. He explains the importance of speed and being able to maintain a canter with the horse in front of the leg, and soft in the reins. The group begins to work on the aides, using lower leg, paired with rein contact and once the horses are soft they move to a canter. Leslie coaches them to use their lower back and stomachs to collect the canter, as they work on going from a working to a medium and collected canter.
