Lateral Movements

Pirouette at the walk

It is the lateral movements that will make the horse very supple.  The most basic classical movement, the four track shoulder-in, offers many benefits to the horse.  It is from the shoulder-in that all of the other lateral movements are developed. After teaching the horse the shoulder-in, one would proceed to the other lateral movements: haunches-in, pirouette, half pass.
