INSTRUCTION:
All trot work to be ridden rising.
Transitions from walk to trot and trot to walk may be
performed through sitting trot with the objective of
performing a smooth transition.
Turns from center line to long side and long side to
center line should be ridden as a half circle, touching
the track at a point midway between the center line
and the corner, and vice versa.
COMMENT:
Horses should be ridden on a light but steady contact,
with the exception of the free walk in which the horse is
allowed complete freedom to stretch neck forward and
downward.
