Gait Transitions

 Goal(s) :

Prepare your transitions and maintain a consistent rhythm across different gaits.

 Process :

Walk at a walk across the width, take the canter in the corner before transitioning to the trot on the other width. Then drop your stirrups before making a circle at the trot without stirrups on the width, put your stirrups back at the end of the circle and continue forward to the corner before taking a canter departure in the corner. Continue at the canter to the next width before transitioning to the trot, dropping your stirrups again before making a circle at the trot without stirrups on the 2nd width. Put your stirrups back at the end of the circle and transition to a walk along the length before finishing the exercise.

 Difficulties :

Prepare your transitions to smoothly descend to a gentler gait and be able to correctly execute the circle.
