Pegasus MK is a 12 year old starting at Grand Prix level. He's not a hot horse and needs a little more encouragement than most but Anna says the rule is he has to work as hard as she does! Anna demonstrates the foundations of piaffe, passage and pirouettes but her preparation applies equally to all levels of dressage. She says it's about teaching reactions and making sure the horse is ready for what you want next. In all movements she focuses on the basics which include staying connected and on the hind leg, being straight through transitions, moving forwards and back and maintaining rhythm and flexion. Her sense of humour is delightful!
