PURPOSE: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, by showing suppleness both laterally and longitudinally, moving freely forward in a clear rhythm with a steady tempo, and readily accepting contact with the bit. Correct geometry and lines of travel should be shown. All trot work may be ridden sitting or rising, unless otherwise stated. Halts may be through the walk.RIDER #10575-3Link:
