'''Grand Prix''' is the highest level of [[dressage]]. |
|||
Movements included in Grand Prix dressage tests are: |
|||
; [[Piaffe]] : A calm, composed, elevated trot in place |
|||
; [[Passage (dressage)|Passage]] : A movement done at the trot, in which the horse has great elevation of stride and seems to pause between putting down its feet (it has a great amount of suspension in the stride). Described very well like a horse "trotting under water", it takes great strength and training to get a good passage. |
|||
; Extended gaits : Usually done at the [[trot]] and [[canter]], the horse lengthens its stride to the maximum length through great forward thrust and reach. Grand Prix horses show amazing trot extensions. |
|||
; Collected gaits (trot and canter) : A shortening of stride in which the horse brings its hindquarters more underneath himself and carries more weight on his hind end. Takes a great amount of strength. The tempo does not change, the horse simply shortens and elevates his stride. |
|||
; [[Flying change]]s (one and two tempis) : The horse changes leads at the canter every stride (one tempi), two strides (two tempi), or three strides (three tempi). One tempis look like the horse is skipping. |
|||
; [[Pirouette (dressage)|Pirouette]] : Usually done at the canter |
|||
; [[Half-pass]] : A movement where the horse goes sideways and forward at the same time, while bent slightly in the direction of movement. |
|||
