Working trot to H	Forward / downward stretch over the back into light contact, maintaining balance & quality of trot; bend / shape of circle; smooth, balanced transitions	6.5	2	13	somehow avoiding the corner m-C and not clearly on the rail at C maybe this is why the circles are large at this end or not correctly sized . horse needs to stretch more

27		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	7	2	14
28		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward. Elasticity of the steps. Suppleness of the back and engagement of the hind quarters.	7	2	14
29		3	Submission	Attention, confidence, ease of the movements, acceptance of the bit, lightness of forehand	6.5	2	13	not supple to turning and bend: aids may be unclear
30		4	Rider	Position and seat. Correctness and effect of the aids.	6.5	2	13	arms to be more elastic and forearms more triangulated to allow this talented horse to come through more frequently from back to front. wide hands dropping and pulling in and leaning into turn disturb this sensitive horse and he braces when turning due to these disturbances
31		What an elegant horse!! some nice moments in this test.. need to get your own turning aids straightened out. Must have weight in both stirrups while turning and use your wrists to turn rather than pulling in and leaning in. this talented horse can go far! attaching some tutorials to assist with centerlines and halt/salutes :)
