27		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6	2	12	tight back

31		Very nice pair. Video is difficult as it is not always easy to see clearly. Horse has tension and wants to bull through rider's aids but still needs to be allowed to move his energy out more through his body and topline. LOTS of half halts rather than restrictive reins will ultimately help this horse find his own balance and carriage and enable him to soften and relax. Capable rider with nice basics will help this horse better present. Good luck!!
