1. The first cue is getting the horse to go forward
2. The second cue is creating a bend to soften the whole body of the horse
3. The third cue is disengaging the haunches
4. The fourth cue is the one-rein stop from the ground
5. The fifth cue is one-rein back up
6. The sixth cue is shoulders over
7. The seventh cues is turn on haunches
8. The eight is a one-rein side pass
