23		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6		6	could be freer in the shoulders with more reach and swing
24		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6		6	could show more forward intent
25		3	Submission	Acceptance of steady contact, attention, and confidence.	6.5	2	13	connection is steady but could show more elasticity
26		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Keeping in balance with the horse	7		7
27		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Correct bend and preparation of transitions	6.5		6.5	develop better bending and suppling aids
28		6	Geometry and Accuracy	Correct size and shape of circles and turns	6		6	use corners to help with bending and work on correct shape of circles and straightness of C lines
29		Cute and well suited pair. Work on confidence to ride pony more forward to show better energy. This may help with suppleness of the jaw for a softer more elastic feeling in the reins and connection. Work on using more inside leg to help with bend, especially on circles and in corners. Final halt was nicely straight but prepare a little earlier for the turn onto center line so it's not so abrupt.
