Walk to Slow Trot Transition

 Goal(s) :

Supple your horse - Achieve smooth and gentle transitions.

 Process :

Walk along the track at a walk. After about ten strides, ask for a very slow trot for a few strides. Repeat for about ten minutes.

 Difficulties :

For nervous horses, this can be challenging (but very interesting to work on indeed). Adjust the request to the horse's sensitivity. A simple movement of the pelvis with calves around the horse may suffice, for example.
