26		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6		6
27		3	Submission	Acceptance of steady contact, attention, and confidence.	6	2	12	inconsistent in bend and connection
28		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Keeping in balance with the horse	6.5		6.5	fairly balanced but needs more independent seat following horse's movt in canter

30		6	Geometry and Accuracy	Correct size and shape of circles and turns	6		6	circles small in canter, seem flat in trot
31		Well matched pair with some nice moments. Adding energy and push from HQ will help horse come more through his back into a rounder frame. Work on activity and push from the HQ and consistency in bending. It will be easier to sit the canter when horse's back is rounder- work to develop a longer topline and softer back.
