This is my basic warm up I do with all my horses. Josè Mendez has taught me that it is best to go large as relaxed as possible in walk, on the buckle if you can to allow horse to stretch. Then trot the same around the arena. Before you go do circles, use a loop to test their balance and willingness to bend, as you have to turn for a corner, go straight, curve for a loop, go straight and then bend again for the corner. It’s especially beneficial for Standardbreds who find it hard to bend. It gives their body a break from endless circles.
