Dressage rider Hannah Biggs works on suppleness and quickness of reactions with her home-produced, 11 year old stallion Weltzin, in preparation for advanced moves. Having recently stepped up to grand prix Hannah says it's now about absolute precision in all moves. Weltzin is laid back so an instant reaction to her leg is vital, as is maintaining energy at all times. Hannah works in trot and canter on flexion and bend, as well as varying the tempo, so that Weltzin is supple and forwards before moving on to working pirouettes and canter changes. Hannah says, "It is the body, not the hand that is used for half halts." Her explanation of the aids is invaluable.
