Lotje Schoots rides and demonstrates her methods for training to Grand Prix. The total running time of this three part video is 41:00.
Part 1: Lotje Schoots leads this clinic about preparing for riding her tests while riding Torrecelli ( whom she calls Flores), her 2009 YR World Cup Champion partner. She looks for relaxation by riding him round and long because he is quite hot. She keeps the contact as she warms up to keep him from panicking, making sure that when she relaxes her hand, he goes down while keeping the same pace. She makes sure that in the canter he can collect and go forward without getting faster. A question from the audience brings a discussion of why she rides him round and long at the beginning of the ride. She explains on how she can work on his thoroughness in this frame. The audience member asks about how she does this, and Lotje replies that she moves the frame around, and works with transitions for more throughness. Another trainer points out the importance of always doing this by having him working from behind, not pulling. They all discuss how much trouble this could be for those that don’t understand what she is doing, and imitate her by riding their horses round and long without the energy from behind.
