39		This was a very steady test and accurate test. Well ridden. Try to ask for a little more bend in corners and activity/energy at times. Over all shows a good understanding of the basics of Intro. Lovey and steady horse that is very willing and maintains a good, steady tempo and clear rhythm in all the work. The walk is fairly active but could show more overtrack. A clear stretch was show in the free walk. The rider's position is fairly well aligned and effective and being very picky I would like to see a little more suppleness the rider's body and elasticity in the connection. That being said, the rider did a very good job! There is not really to much to say about this test as it was well ridden and accurate and very appropriate for the level. beautiful halt at the end. This test was well done. Good job!
