In Volume III, Herr Zettl presents firsthand the theory and practice of third and fourth level collection movements. Half-pass, introduction to flying changes and tempi changes are covered. Slow motion close-ups and detailed descriptions of movements with accompanying graphics allow viewers to grasp each exercise and how it should be ridden. Herr Zettl emphasizes correct frame, rhythm, tempo, and self-carriage required for true collection. Zettl asserts that by working sequentially through the exercises, the horse naturally and without force advances to higher-level movements.
