Laura Bechtolsheimer, GB's top dressage rider (and number three in the world) trains her young horse Joey to do simple canter changes and we watch her very insightful warm-up; four star eventer Alex Petenell trains a forward going 6 year old to wait after jumping his fences; Italian eventer Vittoria Panizzon teaches young riders to improve their balance whilst jumping; Fiona Price interviews Laura B about her preparations for the World Equestrian Games and Fiona herself goes horse shopping which makes riveting viewing!

Continuing from her warm up in another video, Laura works on simple changes with the 5 year old Joey. Everything is broken down into small units to make it easier. Laura begins with walk-canter, canter-walk transitions on both reins. Using the arena boards to back Joey off in the downwards transitions, Laura keeps engagement in the canter but gives the contact immediately to encourage a free walk. She says, "if Joey isn't in front of the leg, it's impossible to make a clean transition to walk." With youngsters, the aids need to be obvious to avoid confusion but gauging how much work is enough is critical, as once fatigue sets in the quality diminishes!

A year on from the first video of Joey, top British dressage rider Laura works on the 5 year old's warmup in preparation for simple changes and more collection. Joey can be a little tricky to begin with so he determines the length of the warmup. Laura demonstrates exercises to get him to relax and 'let go', including riding walk-trot transitions with some bend. She also gives some tips on straightness. Laura creates hind leg activity from the start as she says this is a prerequisite for a good connection later. Frequent walk breaks are vital, and walking on a free rein encourages over-tracking. Laura provides a great explanation of her aids.
