10	1	A Between X & C	Enter working trot rising. Medium walk.	Straightness on centerline and in transition; clear trot and walk rhythm.	6		6	straight but needs better preparation into turn at C and energy in the walk
11	2	C M	Track right. Working trot rising.	Balance and bend in turn. Quality of transition.	6		6	willing into trot and straight on rail, a little too deep into corner causes horse to slow
12	3	A	Circle right 20 meters, working trot rising.	Roundness and size of circle; clear trot rhythm and bend.	6		6	starts with good energy but it fades on circle, size and shape of circle are more oval than round and
13	4	K-X-M	Change rein.	Clear trot rhythm and straightness on diagonal; bend through corners.	6		6	cuts corner at K but nice corner at M, straight on diagonal with energy but reins are floppy
14	5	C	Circle left 20 meters, working trot rising.	Roundness and size of circle; clear trot rhythm and bend.	6.5		6.5	circle shape a bit better and energy remains consistent, work on bend
15	6	Between C & H	Medium walk.	Willing and balanced transition; clear walk rhythm.	6.5		6.5	obedient transition, fair march in walk
16	7	H-X-F	Free walk.	Complete freedom to stretch neck forward and downward; clear walk rhythm, straightness on the diagonal; ground cover.	6		6	relaxed but needs to be more focussed and straight from H to F, tends to wander
17	8	F-A A	Medium walk. Down centerline	Willing and balanced transition; clear walk rhythm, bending in corner and turn. Straightness on centerline.	6		6	medium walk needs a higher neck/head and more march- unclear transition from free walk, wanders a bit and lacking energy
18	9	X	Halt and salute.	Straightness; willing, balanced transition at halt.	6.5		6.5	obedient and immobile
19	Leave arena in free walk. Exit at A.

27		6	Geometry and Accuracy	Correct size and shape of circles and turns	6		6
28		Capable pair with potential for higher scores as rider is more consistently able to create forward, steady energy in walk and trot. Rider tends to get lower leg in front of her so that she needs to balance with a higher hand- work to bend the knee and allow more weight down to the feet. Excellent job of not using the reins to balance!
