28		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
29		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6.5		6.5	Walk needs more freedom.
30		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6	2	12	Hollows back.
31		3	Submission	Acceptance of steady contact, attention, and confidence.	6.5	2	13	Obedient, by often off bit.
32		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Keeping in balance with the horse	6		6	Arched back--leans back. Heels need to come more under hips. Toes out. Arms braced.
33		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Correct bend and preparation of transitions	6		6	Aids need to create more balance and develop bend. Rider overuses seat, which causes the horse to hollow back and reduces the amount of reach that horse gives in walk steps.
34		Although you might have hoped for a higher score--and who doesn't? The point here is that you can improve the scores quite a bit by working on your balance and creating lighter aids. The goal is to allow the horse to go more freely with a rounded topline.
