Livestock / Animal Husbandry / equestrianism
Dutch term or phrase: losrijden
From a horse care manual:

En paard dat bij het losrijden niet rustig kan stappen, heeft te veel energie.
Begin het losrijden niet in galop of draf om energie te ontladen.
Tijdens het losrijden werk je in twee fasen.
Fase 1. Ritme en tempo: zorg dat je paard gemakkelijk van ritme en tempo kan wisselen.
Fase 2. Los in het lijf: zorg dat je paard zijn spieren goed gebruikt.
Deze fasen zijn de basis van het paardrijden. Hiermee leert het paard de ruiter ontspannen en in balans te dragen. Doorloop deze fasen bij iedere training in deze volgorde. Het gebeurt daarbij vaak genoeg dat je niet verder komt dan fase 1. Dat geeft niet, want fase 2 is gewoon erg lastig. Ga pas verder als het paard het aankan. Morgen is er weer een dag.

Is this just 'warming up', or is there a more technical term?

Warm-up


Explanation:
"Before you have your horse do any strenuous activity, especially when they are older, you must first warm them up. While this may seem like a simple run around a ring a few times, it is actually very easy to make mistakes while warming up your horse. Since you are dealing with a very large animal, these mistakes can end up being extremely hazardous to your or your horse's health. Here is how to, safely, warm up your horse in a ring"
