You will need the pose player (updated 5-1-12 or later) to use these poses! Without this version, these poses WILL NOT WORK.

The "Airs Above the Ground" are a series of advanced dressage maneuvers where the horse is required to leave the ground. Though they are no longer used in competition, they are taught and performed by riding academies such as the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and the Cadre Noir in Saumur.

This pose pack contains 9 poses and is compatible with the list function of the pose player.

UPDATES:
  • 30-Mar-15 : The pose list has been updated so that the pose codes show up in the 'Name' field (per numerous requests.) No other changes have been made to the poses.
