Jane first tries to teach a horse flying changes through a figure 8 with simple changes, walking in the middle and using the horse's tendency to anticipate.
****Training Flying Changes Tips****
Use outside leg (one trainer says, "give them a reason to change")
Add outside hand
Then inner leg/seatbones become more important and gives you expressive changes
Don't teach the horse to half pass away from the outside leg because it's too easy for the horse to mistake that for a canter depart
Fix overtempo by traditional leg yield with head to the wall, keeping a 35 degree angle between the horse and the wall
Jane's dressage "bible" is "The Complete Training of Horse and Rider" by Podjasky
He also discusses connecting half halts in this book, but he calls them Unilateral Half Halts

Away form competition and performing tests, there is a tradition of
classical dressage followed as a symbol of art. In Classical dressage horses have
been trained to respond and perform. The classical movements of horse are an
excitement to see the elite skills, stylishness and accuracy of dressage movements
appears to be an ancient form of horsemanship. These skills are shown in popular
events generally held nowadays in Olympics called as Olympic Dressage.
An Olympic dressage event where each horse must perform a series of movements
testing the rider's control of the horse, and a panel of judges awards points
