When the horse is taught to change on the riders’ aids and responds with 100% accuracy, you can start teaching changes every six, four, three or two steps.

Change at four

Change at three

Change at two

The question is “whether the changes every other step are a classic exercise or not?” The exercise is from origin a circus exercise and was invented in the 19th century by Mr. Baucher. No matter what, it is very difficult and therefore impressive when a rider and horse can do this exercise effortless.
