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.

33
5RIDER’S CORRECT AND EFFECTIVE USE OF AIDS (Clarity; subtlety; independence; accuracy of test)616accuracy issues
34
Capable pair. Read the purpose of the test at the top. At this level the horse should be on the bit and demonstrate increased push for lengthened gaits. This horse needs to be more honestly over the back and into the rider's hand in a rounder frame throughout. Issues with rhythm stem partially from a lack of forward energy. Consistent bend and straightness are needed.
