this is a very pretty horse! this is a suitable team with potential... rider needs to get knee looser and leg more correctly back and under her seat for balance to improve forward riding aids. Horse needs to flow willingly forward throughout the test. when posting think... Up sit down lightly.. focus on going "Up" with energy to get hor5ses more in front of you and use the above description in box 3 to place your stirrup more correctly for improved leg support.
