Ideas on how to teach our horse to spiral out onto bigger circles and back in again while maintaining a bend and round shape. Then moving these circles around the arena.

We add trot transitions into the Starting sTep, building towards spiraling out and back in and moving the circles around the arena in trot.

We revisit and combine the first 4 sTeps to integrate the qualities of each and to explore how new exercises can be born out of the tools we already have.

Participants send in videos of their own work on one or more of the first four sTeps of the Spiraling topic with tips and ideas to improve their work even more.

Checking our communication and our horse's understanding by taking the Starting sTep into liberty - guiding the same exercise with our intention and body language.

Now we take the Next sTep by adding in the canter. We use the spiraling outwards process to set up the canter transitions and the spiraling inwards to make downward transitions. 

Here we start to play out of the box - innovating the spiraling and moving circles in a variety of creative ways, including obstacles, different body positions, riding, etc.

Revisiting the participants' work with the Spiraling topic, including the variations from the Integrative and Creative sTep videos with tips and ideas to improve their work further.
