1				PURPOSE: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and in addition to the requirements of Training Level, has developed the thrust to achieve improved balance and throughness and to maintain a more consistent contact with the bit. All trot work may be ridden sitting or rising, unless stated.			JUDGE:	Ida Norris

10			TEST	DIRECTIVES	POINTS	*	TOTAL	REMARKS
11	1	A X	Enter collected trot Halt, salute; Proceed collected trot	Engagement, uphill balance and quality of trot; clear, balanced transitions; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	6		6	not on centerline for a while ( see A behind you) shoulders right throughout most of centerline after halt. halt unbalanced . neck not straight at C6/C7 ie not centered between withers
12	2	C M-B	Track right Shoulder-in right	Angle, bend and balance; engagement and quality of trot	7		7	to be more elastic on outside rein for improved throughness
13	3	B-X X-E	Half circle right 10m Half circle left 10m	Shape and size of half circles; supple change of bend on centerline; balance and quality of trot	6.5		6.5	lack of lateral poll suppleness ( affecting shoulder suppleness through the turns) hocks went out at times
14	4	E-K	Travers left	Angle, bend and balance; engagement and quality of trot	7	2	14	to be more supple in poll rotation left ( lateral poll suppleness=affects throughness/engagement)
15	5	F-B	Shoulder-in left	Angle, bend and balance; engagement and quality of trot	5.5		5.5	a little wide ( the angle) and then becomes straight : lack of lateral poll flexion and outside aids allows this to disintegrate into leg yield
16	6	B-X X-E	Half circle left 10m Half circle right 10m	Shape and size of half circles; supple change of bend on centerline; balance and quality of trot	6.5		6.5	left 1/2 circle better/ right 1/2 circle poll was slightly poll flexion to left and the shoulders unable to come around ; hind legs slightly falling out
17	7	E-H	Travers right	Angle, bend and balance; engagement and quality of trot	7	2	14	needs more lateral [poll flexion
18	8	M-V V	Change rein, medium trot Collected trot	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride with engagement, elasticity, suspension, straightness and uphill balance	6.5		6.5	rider was very careful with the tempo ( carefully ridden) . the horse only tracked up .. needs engagement ( carrying forward with hind legs) hocks tend to be out behind /
19	9	V-K-A	(Transitions M & V) Collected trot	Clear, balanced straight transitions; quality of trot; consistent tempo	6.5		6.5	slow to develop, needs hocks more under
20	10	A	Halt, rein back 3 to 4 steps Proceed medium walk	Immobility; willing steps back with correct rhythm and count; straightness; clear transitions	5	2	10	horse appears braced backwards during the unbalanced halt , the rein back looked reluctant and was interrupted. neither the horse nor the rider appeared immobile or quiet/ relaxed at the halt
21	11	F-S S	Change rein, free walk Medium walk	Regularity and quality of walks; reach and ground cover of free walk allowing complete freedom to stretch the neck forward and downward; straightness; clear, balanced transitions	7	2	14	began with some stretch down but needs to finish with the same. some tension picking up the reins shows a small overtrack
22	12	H Between G & M	Turn right Shorten stride, half turn on haunches right Proceed medium walk	Quality of shortened walk strides; tempo and regularity; activity of hind legs; bend and fluency in turn	5.5		5.5	hind legs o a bit sticky/large : shoulders slow to come around as the poll was to the left!! and the horse finished the turn with the poll completely to the left..
23	13	Between G & H M	Shorten stride, half turn on haunches left Proceed medium walk Turn left	Quality of shortened walk strides; tempo and regularity; activity of hind legs; bend and fluency in turn	7.5		7.5	correct through poll, movement shows more ease
24	14		(Medium walk) [SHG(M)G(H)GMC]	Regularity and quality of walk	8	2	16	active/round to bridle
25	15	Before C C	Shorten stride in walk Collected canter left lead	Clear, balanced straight transition; regularity and quality of gaits	5		5	unclear/ some trot steps
26	16	H-V V	Medium canter Collected canter	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride with engagement, elasticity, suspension, straightness and uphill balance; consistent tempo; clear, balanced transitions	8		8	liked the uphill bal / showed a trans
27	17-19	A-C	Serpentine 3 equal loops, width of arena, simple changes of lead over centerline
28	17		(Score for first simple change)	Clear, balanced straight transitions; regularity and quality of gaits	3		3	some trot in the down and wrong lead in the up, not much of the loop shown in rt lead
29	18		(Score for second simple change)	Clear, balanced straight transitions; regularity and quality of gaits	5.5		5.5	some trot in the down and the qwalk rhythm is not clear
30	19		(Score for quality of serpentine)	Regularity and quality of gaits; positioning; geometry	6		6	loop shape accurate and canter quality is uphill but transitions lack clarity and balance
31	20	H-B B-F	Change rein Counter canter	Regularity, quality and balance of canter; straightness	8	2	16	line to be more correctly accurate
32	21	F Before A A	Medium walk Shorten the stride of walk Collected canter right lead	Clear, balanced straight transitions; regularity and quality of gaits	6		6	some tension in the walk marrs the walk rhythm / anticipating
33	22	K-S S	Medium canter Collected canter	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride with engagement, elasticity, suspension, straightness and uphill balance; consistent tempo; clear, balanced transitions	8.5		8.5	bold effort and uphill with a clear transition
34	23	M-E E-K	Change rein Counter canter	Regularity, quality and balance of canter; straightness	7.5	2	15	would like to see you ride the geometry more accurately .. aim the line to E so that you get on the track at E not so far after / horse shows a good CC would like to see the accuracy so score can go up
35	24	K	Collected trot	Clear, balanced straight transition; regularity and quality of trot; consistent tempo	8		8	shows cadance
36	25	A D-I	Down centerline Medium trot	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride with engagement, elasticity, suspension, straightness and uphill balance; clear, balanced straight transition	8		8	looks best from the front / keep straightness...
37	26	I	Collected trot	Clear, balanced straight transition; regularity and quality of trot; consistent tempo	7		7	keep hind legs together and straighter
38	27	G	Halt, salute	Engagement, uphill balance and quality of trot; clear balanced transition; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	8		8	square

41		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
42		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	7.5		7.5	shows a talent for canter
43		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6.5	2	13	engagement to improve with more correct bending to the right and more forward carrying in the engagement in the trot tour/ needs engagement in the simple changes
44		3	Submission	Engagement, uphill balance and quality of trot; clear balanced transition; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	6.5	2	13	halt and RB to improve/ bend to the right and lateral poll flexion affecting ease of bend and movements as well as transition to simple changes
45		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Alignment, posture, stability, weight placement, following mechanics of the gaits	7		7	hands to be slightly closer together
46		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Clarity, subtlety, independence, accuracy of test	6.5		6.5	see submission
47		This is a lovely talented pair. lateral poll flexion is affecting bend and throughness especially noticeable in the trot tour and in all movements going right. Simple changes must be clean and the walk rhythm must be carefully husbanded in those transitions. this horse shows a remarkable uphill balance that you will be able to capitalize on in coming level. some lovely moments!
