Lol I've played that song on the violin I think...or maybe piano I don't remember.
-
my horse does this all the time...and he doesn't understand why we don't like it on the way to a jump.

Absolutely wonderful! However, I would fear ruining the horses natural rythm at the canter asking for this so often.

@oOGizmoFreakOo I agree, the canter is too stiff. I think that Klimke and Ahlerich's famous one tempi changes from the1984 Olympics is much more impressive than this.

They are very subtle, but you can watch the leg swing just slightly prior to the lead change, as well as the rein move slightly out away from the centre possition of the horses neck. It truly is a brilliant display of absolute mastery though, because the communication is such a very well established bodylanguage between horse and rider

The A-tempi lead changes (change of lead on every stride multiple times) require months to acquire (YEARS if done properly, but I have seen in "fast tracked"... but in doing so it looses alot of quality) A display like this, featuring so many in sequence, is the result of MANY YEARS of dedication and maintenance of conditioning. It is SPECTACULAR... fluid and it appears effortless, I've rarely seen it done so well as this!
