Attractive pair with nice forward feel (needs more in walk) Work on bend as you are losing points on every circle and turn as your horse is counterbent. Try to prepare your horse with half halts so that transitions are more clear. Work to stay stronger in your core and more upright in your balance both front to bakc and side to side to better help your horse balance and become straight/bend
