This paved the way for piaffe to lose its \u2018sitting\u2019 nature, even at the highest levels of international dressage competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A series of rides then followed, demonstrating exercises at various levels of training that develop collection in the horse. First, Rose rode the 6 year old Andalusian mare Eleison, followed by a 10 year old Dutch Warmblood mare, and finished with her 18 year old Grand Prix Hanoverian. Over the course of the rides, Rose demonstrated trot to halts, canter collections, work in hand, piaffe\/passage and canter pirouettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a special treat, Rose and Paul invited each attendee up to experience piaffe in hand with the Grand Prix horse. It was a \u201cfirst\u201d for many people to experience the piaffe up close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next and last\nlecture\/demonstration for the year will be on September 14<sup>th<\/sup>.
