PURPOSE: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and in addition to the requirements of Training Level, has developed improved balance, lateral suppleness and throughness, as well as the thrust to perform lengthenings of stride. The horse should be on the bit.

*note: bell boots not permitted in licensed competition* Lovely, powerful horse. Work to better harness that power by slowing him down a bit- not with reins- but thru half halts. He tends to rush and then becomes flat or pulls on rider. Help him learn to better balance from the HQ so that he can truly express his naturally exuberant gaits. Inaccurate riding decreases score....
