Correct geometry and lines of travel should be shown. All trot work may be ridden sitting or rising, unless otherwise stated. Halts may be through the walk.			RIDER #	9721-2

31		thank you for a lovely show turnout! what a wonderful pair ! I can see clear preparation and a lot of work going into this test! Work to get out of chair seat in order to improve rider balance . Posting behind the motion causes a "drag on impulsion and drops weight hard on horses back. rider to get legs down and back under the seat and this teams true potential will begin to shine!
