Curves and Flying Changes with Jumps

 Goal(s) :

successfully perform flying changes to approach a jump with a different lead and finish on a small double (exercise to be practiced in both directions)

 Process :

In a slalom, start with a flying change on the track, pass between two cones, perform a flying change, position straight to approach the jump and repeat twice. At the end, pass behind the last cone, and aim for the center of the cavalettis to realign the horse.

 Difficulties :

turns, flying changes, approaching the jump, staying straight (option to take a 'shortcut' by passing in front of the cavalettis, creating a tighter curve for riders seeking a challenge)
