Tanya Rennie and Faldo work with Olympian Sabine Schut-Kery. By finding the horse through the leg aids and using shoulder-fore, Tanya can play with the energy and get Faldo to be less flat. In the half steps, Sabine notes Faldo needs to be more attentive. By sitting up, supporting him and using the legs, Tanya helps Faldo engage.

Coordinating the position and aids recycles the energy so it flows.
