How to control the canter before starting with pirouettes
According to the successful dressage rider and trainer Jean Bemelmans, you don't have to practice pirouettes if you don't have full control of the canter yet. They must want to move forward and back again without losing the three-beat rhythm in the canter.
Jean Bemelmans is a guest at the series of events “The Old Masters”. Bemelmans sees himself as a fan of the collection, but knows that it is difficult for many riders to imagine what a real collection or real expansion feels like. Often, according to the trainer, they only drive a little slower or faster with their horse but they forget the activity and the impulsion.
