ABOUT THIS COURSE
Philippe Karl has developed the School of Légèreté to reflect his ideals of a light, supple, and balanced horse, trained without force. In this course, you will see his philosophy in action as he teaches a clinic featuring a variety of horses, including a Haflinger, Iberian breeds, a Quarter Horse, and warmbloods.
Learn which exercises the French master prefers for the warm-up, how he teaches the flying change, and why lateral work plays such a central role in the Légèreté

Philippe Karl encourages his students to keep things interesting for the horse, so you may see a shoulder-in between E and B and then a counter-shoulder in down the long side. He also uses combined lateral work to play with the balance of the horse. Find out what a reverse pirouette is, and watch how a shoulder-in, half pass, and half pirouette flow seamlessly into one another. Note that he is looking for long, slow strides.
The Spanish walk is an important exercise in the Légèreté as it increases shoulder freedom and, if combined with trot transitions, can teach any horse to passage. You will learn about the difference between the jambette and the Spanish walk, as well as how to correct a horse that's only lifting the leg but not extending it. The piaffe is a signature movement in Karl Philippe's training system and should be accessible from the walk, trot, or rein back.
In this course you learn:
➡️ Philippe Karl teaches his students in the Ecole de Légèreté
➡️ A creative take on lateral work: new combinations
➡️ Flying changes taught from true lead to counter canter
➡️ The jambette, Spanish walk, and piaffe in detail

A gem of training info in that short video " it is the shoulders"
The horses head was raised and see how much wider he can open his chest and shoulders.
Great wee video, thank you.
