before I started working with my horse (just turned 6) on flying changes, my trainer had us school a lot of walk/canter transition and counter canter. The walk/canter was really important because that is what she needs to do to switch and when we started that, even getting that transition nice and sharp was hard at first because she just didn't have the strength and muscle yet. ONce she had the strength, did simples through the walk on a serpentine easily, counter canter, etc., the changes over poles were no problem for her. before she had the strength and balance though, it was really hard for her/us.
