What is Terre a Ciel exactly?
Terre a ciel refers to a form of gymnastic dressage in which the horse changes from a trot or canter to a walk, then rises onto its hind legs so that it lifts its front legs above the ground. This graceful, powerful movement requires both skill and communication between horse and rider. It is used often in dressage competitions and demonstrations that show the horse’s skills and the rider’s ability.
How to Prepare
There are several important steps you should take before teaching your horse how to do a Terre a ciel. The horse must be in good physical condition and be comfortable being ridden. The horse must be comfortable in the dressage arena, and should be able to perform the necessary movements for the terre a ciel. The rider must ensure that the horse is properly warmed up, and do plenty of stretching exercises and relaxation exercises. The rider must be confident in their abilities and in the ability of their horse.
The Training Process
After the horse has been prepared, it is possible to teach a horse how to do a terre-a ciel. The horse will take some time to adapt to these new movements so it is best to do this slowly. First, teach your horse how to transition from a trot to a canter. It is important that the horse learns how to transition from a trot to canter smoothly and quickly. You can use transitions in a circle or a serpentine to accomplish this. The next step is to get the horse to lift its hind legs. You can do this by having your horse trot forward and then transition quickly to a canter. The rider should exert pressure on the horse’s hindquarters as the horse moves to the canter. This will encourage the horse’s hind legs to rise. Next, teach your horse how to raise his front legs. You can do this by asking the horse to move in a circular motion and then ask it to change to a trot. The rider should gently press the shoulders of the horse as it transitions. This will encourage the horse’s front legs to rise off the ground. The next step is to get the horse to lift its hind and front legs off the ground. You can do this by asking the horse to canter in a circle and then ask it to transition into a trot. The rider should exert pressure on the horse’s shoulders and hindquarters as it transitions. The horse will be encouraged to lift its legs up in the air for a while before being lowered to the ground. Next, teach your horse how to move around the arena with its legs elevated off the ground. You can do this by asking the horse to canter around in a circle and then ask it to move around the arena at a trot. The rider should exert pressure on the horse’s shoulders and hindquarters as it transitions. This will encourage the horse’s legs to stay in the air as it moves around the arena.
