"Work in-hand is a bit forgotten, but it is carried on at the Spanish Riding School, the Cadre Noir and the Royal Andalusian Riding School in Jerez, Spain," says Jörgen Koschel, the Dutch national trainer and former national trainer of Finland and Spain, as he begins to give his demonstration on training horses to piaffe and passage in-hand. Koschel emphasizes that all work-whether in-hand or ridden-always starts with basic gaits and a clear rhythm. "Once the horse is in rhythm, he can begin to relax. Once he relaxes, he can begin to take contact. With contact begins impulsion. A horse can only be straight if he has impulsion, and with straightness comes collection." In other words, collection happens-a concept that is repeated throughout the forum. Key points that are observed by the technical committee at Koschel's presentation are willingness and confidence: The horse never questioned the handler and had confidence in his balance and in the handler's control. They agree that Koschel's training style was that of sympathetic control-the approach of the trainer made it possible to get confidence from the horse
