About this video

Having worked in (in a previous video), Olympic dressage rider Jane Gregory moves up a gear with the 8 year old mare Soul Sister and prepares for advanced work. She begins by ensuring the trot is connected, working on trot-canter transitions and asking for precision in the canter. This is the foundation for the 3 Ps. Shoulder fore is used to set up pirouettes and half pass, and Jane encourages Soul Sister to find the energy of piaffe and make the movement her own idea! Passage is easy as the trot is already elevated. It's fascinating to appreciate the makings of a Grand Prix horse and Jane's insights are invaluable at all levels.

charlieboy 29 Sep 2011 The mare steps up nicely and clearly. Talking about the rider's legs its good to see that Jane takes her lower leg away from the horse's side when she does not want it to confuse the mare in moving away from the opposite leg. Its easy to forget to do that and to keep the leg on when aiding with the opposite leg and just confusing the horse. Nice demo!
dressage bonkers 29 May 2011 What a fantastic video and Jane just reminds you to take care not to do to much and make it fun for the horse and yourself. I will watch this over and over again!

christina 29 Dec 2009 Tinkerbell - I think it is a combination of camera angles & aiding in the different movements but if you notice when Jane changes rein, there is the same effect but on the other leg.
TinkerBell 28 Dec 2009 While watching both Jane videos with Soul Sister I had an impression that Jane leg is "longer" on right side. Is it perspective of the filming playing tricks on me or Jane's weight aid?
