PURPOSE: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and having achieved the thrust required in First Level, now accepts more weight on the hindquarters (collection); moves with an uphill tendency, especially in the medium gaits; and is reliably on the bit. A greater degree of straightness, bending, suppleness, throughness, balance and self-carriage is required than at First Level.RIDER #6144

What a lovely ride!!! thank you for your show turnout and what a beautiful setting and great light for this ride!!! Kudos to your phtographer who was fantastic!!! Now for comments.. great job.. work on your own personal straightness and review neck straightness on the horse. work to ride increasingly off the ouside aids for more engagment. :):)
