1				PURPOSE: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and having achieved the thrust required in First Level, now accepts more weight on the hindquarters (collection); moves with an uphill tendency, especially in the medium gaits; and is reliably on the bit. A greater degree of straightness, bending, suppleness, throughness, balance and self-carriage is required than at First Level.			JUDGE:	Robyn Nunnally

36		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
37		1	GAITS (Freedom and regularity)		6	1	6	could be more free and elastic
38		2	IMPULSION (Desire to move forward; elasticity of the steps; suppleness of the back; engagement of the hindquarters)		5	2	10	more balance and engagement needed at this level
39		3	SUBMISSION (Acceptance of the bridle. Attention and confidence. Harmony. Lightness of the forehand. Ease of movements.)		5.5	2	11	struggling with balance and acceptance of the aids
40		4	RIDER’S POSITION AND SEAT (Alignment; posture; stability; weight placement; following mechanics of the gaits)		6	1	6	fairly good alignment. work to keep legs stretched down and hands more still
41		5	RIDER’S CORRECT AND EFFECTIVE USE OF AIDS (Clarity; subtlety; independence; accuracy of test)		6	1	6	could be steadier/more supple in contact
42		Horse and rider struggling with requirements of balance and power at 3rd level in this test today. You have the right idea but improve this performance with more collection and power from the hindquarters. The forehand should be lighter, with the poll higher, for ease of these movements. Develop a stronger, more reliable response to leg and driving aids. Keep working on it!
