Talented team. Work on riding circle the correct size and shape as that will increase those scores by at least .5! There needs to be a clear difference between the FW and MW so think about using your seat and legs aids in the FW to create a longer frame and stride. As you get stronger in your seat, I would like to see you shorten your reins- NOT to crank your horse's head and neck in- but to better feel your horse and for your horse to be more aware of you. Good luck!!
