Most obstacles are taken at a gallop, some at a walk. In that case, the obstacles must be 'approach' at a gallop, just before the obstacle a correct transition to walk must be made. Then the horse must step further into or through the obstacle, in order to make a correct transition to the gallop after the obstacle.

In the style course, a strict assessment is made of whether the horse is obedient and that the dressage exercises are carried out correctly and confidently, for example, it is very important that the horse actually steps in the step reprises, and does not dribble.
