Destacado's Piaffe Lesson
Note: Video may take several seconds to download
In the video of Destacado we are just starting him in piaffe. It is important to collect the walk and yet keep the horse straight, balanced and in cadence. Destacado is only just learning to lower his haunches. In asking for the piaffe I use both legs together in rhythm with the movement and keep collecting him with my seat and back but releasing the hand so that he is completely in self carriage and with only the weight of the rein for contact.
