pretty horse and rider.. thank you for your elegant rider turnout! Watch the salutes-- :) .. Centerlines were quite straight .. oversall you did a steady job keeping this horse in a steady tempo. It clearly doesnot accept contact but you tried very hard to be harmonious.The horse at this level must accept the reins for steering/bending to improve.
