1				PURPOSE: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and in addition to the requirements of Training Level, has developed the thrust to achieve improved balance and throughness and to maintain a more consistent contact with the bit. All trot work may be ridden sitting or rising, unless stated.			JUDGE:	Robyn Nunnally	Link	https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=707i2yCHhApJcLZ5&v=osiZBw8gB2M&feature=youtu.be

40		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
41		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6		6	short quick steps in trot
42		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward; elasticity of the steps; suppleness of the back; engagement of the hindquarters	6	2	12	could be more elastic; develop mediums with strength and longer steps
43		3	Submission	Willing cooperation; harmony; attention and confidence; acceptance of bit and aids; straightness; lightness of forehand and ease of movements	6	2	12	could be more through the back; can be fussy in contact; could show more uphill balance
44		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Alignment; posture; stability; weight placement; following mechanics of the gaits	6		6	hands high
45		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Clarity; subtlety; independence; accuracy of test	6		6	clarity of aids for simple change; response to leg for mediums
46		Obedient and willing horse. The trot needs to show longer more swinging steps overall with clearer tracking up. Mediums in trot and canter need definition and power, showing some uphill push instead of quickening. Be sure to show clear angle and bend on lateral work - horse appears very capable of these movements but they are vague/fade. Continue to work on simple changes and no walk steps in the downward transition (canter departs are good). Establish halts with immobility and straightness before saluting or RB.
