About this video

It's six months since we first filmed Step and he has matured. Though the outline is still 'baby' you can see why he's called Stepdance! Now a five year old, Dr B says he's progressing correctly but patience is the key. He explains how to build balanced muscle in the young horse. Dr B also says every aid must have a purpose and Laura must get a reaction, and that transitions should come from the back end into the hand. The rider needs to be switched on the whole time and know how much impulsion to ask for. The art at this stage is for the horse not to notice he is being worked, so relaxed work should flow into harder work for short bursts only.
