Time to start with the Flying changes. To begin with, the changes will not be perfect! The finished result should be clean, in good balance and in a controlled manner. But keep in mind that it takes 12-18 months to develop an established change!

Before trying the change, develop a good balanced canter that is on your aids and in a good rhythm. Make sure you have control in the canter and are able to collect. You need “controlled tension” when coming into the changes for the first time. This is having good energy in the canter so your horse has enough suspension in the air.
