Helgstrand Medium Tour1* (horse)
In Helgstrand Medium Tour1 * (horse), we must see the results of the development that you and your horse have been through in the Micro, Mini and Small Tour tests. Throughout the test, your horse should clearly show energy, suppleness, resilience, and quality, as well as a greater collection than in previous tests. This is especially shown in the transitions, the different paces of the medium and free gait, as well as the lateral movements. You must also be able to show the correct movement within the gaits, as well as a clear difference in paces of the gaits. We will also see you perform flying changes for the first time.
Enjoy!
