The Embroidery Stitch
Goal(s)
This exercise relaxes your horse and, through its repetitive character, helps both of you concentrate, while preparing you for work in greater engagement.
Process
On the right rein, ride along the track at sitting trot. At B, ride a half-volte and return to the track at M. Continue with a 15-meter diameter circle at C. Then, at E, ride another half-volte and return to the track at H, followed by another 15-meter circle at C. Practice this exercise for 10 to 15 minutes on both reins.
Difficulties
Ride deep into the corners on the short sides of the arena. Maintain a steady working trot and ensure each figure is the same size every time. Aim for a perfect and precise line.

J'ai ajouté de la difficulté à l'exercice en partant au galop sur le grand cercle et en faisant des cessions a la jambes sur les arcs de cercles des demi-voltes.
