Practicing Collected Movements
Objective: Apply your knowledge by practicing movements that require and enhance collection.
1. Theory:
• Collected Movements: Exercises like collected trot and canter help solidify the horse’s ability to maintain collection.
2. Practical Exercises:
• Collected Trot and Canter: Ask for shorter, more elevated strides while maintaining impulsion.
• Transitions Within Gaits: Practice lengthening and shortening strides within the same gait to improve adjustability.
3. Resources:

Combining Engagement and Flexion
Objective: Integrate hindquarter engagement with softness and flexion to advance toward true collection.
1. Theory:
• Integration: Combining these elements leads to a horse that is balanced, responsive, and collected.
2. Practical Exercises:
• Half-Halts: Use half-halts to rebalance the horse and prepare for transitions, reinforcing engagement and flexion.
• Circles with Varying Sizes: Practice riding circles of different diameters to encourage balance and collection.

Developing Softness and Flexion
Objective: Focus on achieving softness in the horse’s poll and lateral flexion in the neck to facilitate collection.
1. Theory:
• Softness and Flexion: Encouraging relaxation and flexibility in the horse’s neck and poll is vital for effective collection.
2. Practical Exercises:
• Lateral Flexion at Halt: Gently ask your horse to flex its neck to the left and right while standing still.
• Serpentines: Ride serpentines to promote bending and suppleness.

Engaging the Hindquarters
Objective: Learn techniques to activate and engage your horse’s hindquarters, a crucial element of collection.
1. Theory:
• Hindquarter Engagement: Essential for shifting the horse’s weight backward, promoting balance and readiness for collection.
2. Practical Exercises:
• Transitions: Practice transitions between gaits (e.g., walk to trot, trot to canter) to encourage hindquarter engagement.
• Lateral Movements: Introduce leg yields to teach the horse to step under its body.

Understanding Collection
Objective: Grasp the fundamental concept of collection and its significance in horse training.
1. Theory:
• Definition: Collection involves the horse engaging its hindquarters, elevating its back, and achieving a balanced, controlled movement.
• Importance: Enhances the horse’s balance, responsiveness, and overall performance.
• Common Misconceptions: Collection is more than just a specific head position; it encompasses the horse’s entire posture and movement.
2. Practical Exercise:
• Observation: Watch horses in various states—free movement, uncollected under saddle, and collected under saddle. Note differences in posture and movement.
