Classical Seat III
"ADVANCING THE ELEMENTARY HORSE AND RIDER"

Duration Approx. 50 minutes

This is the latest video by Sylvia Loch. This video follows the successfulThe Classical Seat and The Classical Seat II

In this, the third Video in her series, Sylvia works with a variety of students mounted on their own horses or with her own patient Portuguese schoolmasters at her school in Scotland. The work concentrates on greater collection as the horse consolidates his early schooling in shoulder-in, travers and the figurework shown in Classical Seat II. From this greater lightness and balance is developed. The movements shown and explained in depth in this video include:

• More Shoulder-in including Shoulder-fore on circles

• Collected Walk including Half Pirouette
• Further Collection in Trot
