Goal(s)

Improve walk/trot transitions and refine changes of direction. Helps to gain balance, impulsion, and suppleness.

Process

Start by trotting on the large circles, and ask for a transition to walk when reaching the smaller central circle. Once the exercise is mastered, you can perform it in reverse: walking on the large circles, and trotting on the smaller circle.

Difficulties

Ensure the horse does not speed up or slow down before its transitions.
