This free coloring page worksheet is part of our Rider Medals program. This worksheet covers Level 2: Beginner I transition skills. It contains:

1. Look at the pictures and tell if they’re showing an upward or downward transition. Color the horse pictures roan or bay depending on the transition.
2. Write the number of beats in a gait then draw a line from the gait that matches the number of horse shoes show below.
3. Think about what steps you take to make different transitions, how you can tell that the horse has successfully transitioned, why we call them upwards/downwards transitions, and can you transition within the same gait?
