28		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
29		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6.5		6.5
30		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6	2	12	back is tight and strides are quick rather than forward (pushing)
31		3	Submission	Acceptance of steady contact, attention, and confidence.	6	2	12	frame could be rounder but consistent in connection- not honest, however, as fails to strretch and follow rider's hand in FW and stretch circle
32		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Keeping in balance with the horse	7		7	nicely balanced rider
33		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Correct bend and preparation of transitions	6		6	needs more consistent preparation
34		Some good work but horse tends to be tight through the back and instead of taking powerful strides from behind, takes short quick steps. Tension over topline detracts from scores. In both FW and stretch circle horse should relax over the back and follow the rider's hand as the hands are moved together forward and down the neck. Once horse is more swinging and using the back, scores will improve. Good potential for increased scores.
