Correct geometry and lines of travel should be shown.			RIDER #	10058-1	Link:	https://youtu.be/LWAsDjqm738?si=qqzeupU_ldvGnbUB

28		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
29		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6		6	better rhythm in this test, MW still lateral
30		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6	2	12
31		3	Submission	Acceptance of steady contact, attention, and confidence.	5.5	2	11
32		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Keeping in balance with the horse	6		6
33		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Correct bend and preparation of transitions	5.5		5.5
34		Better moments this test and trot work overall more rhythmic. FW was quite good and shows that horse DOES have the correct walk but the tension in the MW interferes. Work on keeping yourself more upright and try to give to him whenever you can so that he is more trusting of the bit and wants to reach for it rather than bracing. Use your upper body as a balancing aid for the horse by not leaning forward and keep hands closer together so he is learning to carry his own balance. Good luck!
