- Dressage: Lateral movement; development of flying changes; collection exercises; use of the curb; dressage outside the arena; and much more.
- Pole work (cavalletti): Gymnastics; circle jumping; improvement of flexibility and cadence.
- Jumping: Gymnastics; "skinny" jumps; turns; distances; and more.
- Cross-country: Canter/gallop training on hills; series of fences and obstacles; jumping into water; drop jumps.
