Serpentine and Shoulder-In

 Goal(s) :

Maintain impulsion and create a pattern

 Process :

After warming up the horse at a walk with haunches-in and shoulder-in on both reins, start with a shoulder-in for a few strides until the middle of the long side, then make a half circle to X, walk straight for two strides and continue with a half circle on the other rein to arrive on the track in the middle of the long side on the other rein, then finish with a shoulder-in for a few strides.

 Difficulties :

Consistent work in the gait, symmetrical, maintain a nice bend around the inside leg, no supporting rein but always a corridor of reins, control the shoulders with the outside rein.
