DVD 3 Featuring: dressage training Vol.7-8 from Grand Prix St.Georges to intermediaire II

Vol 7: From Grand Prix St. Georges to intermediaire I, 29 mins

World and Olympic Champion Dr. Reiner Klimke: “At the age of seven, the horse should gradually start to be trained towards the more difficult lessons of Intermediaire II-level.  The training has to be carefully adapted so as to prevent any detrimental consequences on the horse’s health.  The exercises of Intermediaire I-level are most suitable in this respect.  Half pass zigzag in the canter, pirouettes and flying canter changes in two difference tempi are the core of the canter work.  Work in the trot and in the walk corresponds to Prix St. Georges-level.”

Vol 8: The training schedule form Intermediaire I to Intermediaire II, 41 mins

World and Olympic Champion Dr. Reiner Klimke: “between the seventh and eighth year, the last preparatory exercises for the Grand Prix de Dressage is trained.  We collect the horse in half steps to come to the piaffe.  We train the flying canter changes from step to step.  Now the horse has to show up whether it has the potential to accomplish the Grand Prix de Dressage.”
