Transitions show the quality of training. Eventually one must be able to switch gears within the gaits and between the gaits with no resistance and self carriage. In tests when you don’t perform a clear transition then the horse will fall apart. It’s just a matter of how soon. When mistakes happen it’s most likely because a transition didn’t happen several movements before and the horse is out of balance. Sometimes it’s subtle and other times very obvious. It is up to you to rectify this. When horse is in ideal balance then a movement becomes easy.
