I have been wanting to challenge some of you, and share with you the preparation and execution of some more advanced riding maneuvers that are used in Western Dressage . We will work our way up in the second part of the series to practicing some of the beautiful maneuvers like Flying lead changes, and those beautiful diagonal moves like trotting leg yields, and half passes (do you know the difference?)
