   In this video you talked about the importance of the posting trot. I know this may sound like a very novice question, but how would you explain the correct way to post? Even though it should be such a straight-forward thing, there seem to be a lot of different variations of the exercise, all claiming to be the correct way. What I have observed, though, is that it is often either a very stiff exercise, or that it is such a laid-back motion that the rider can not keep time with the stride, both of which are uncomfortable for the horse. How can this be remedied?

   Though the overall picture of relaxation is there, the rhytm of this horse seems off, especially noticeable in canter -4 beating a lot of the time. The horse also doesn’t seem elastic but rather flat. How would you improve on these points with this horse in your training method? Is there any point to be doing the 1 tempi changes if the canter is 4 beating? The horse does not seem yet able to bring the hinds truly under to carry in the pirouette? Should you not set up so the hinds are under a do maybe 1 quarter pirouette before doing the complete pirouette flat or is there another reason you are procedding this way?
