1				PURPOSE: Tests confirm that the horse is supple and moves freely forward in a clear steady rhythm, accepting light contact with the bit. The horse demonstrates greater understanding of the aids and calm acceptance of the bridle; greater emphasis is placed on relaxation, harmony, rideability and pure gaits. The horse is beginning to develop more impulsion and balance.			JUDGE:	Ida Norris

28		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
29		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6		6	regularity in jog today
30		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6.5		6.5	short tracking is an indication of lack of back suppleness and engagement which is the ability or willingness to compress the hind quarters/leg joints and Push against the ground for propulsion.additionally the thoracic sling can develop and contribute to shoulder mobility and correct balance " more level or uphill"
31		3	Rider’s Position, Seat, and Hands	Well-balanced elastic seat demonstrating vertical, centered alignment, with light independent contact from hand(s)	7		7	nicely quiet, not quite level or even through seat and thighs.. ast times sits left ( hence bulge thru rt leg)
32		4	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Evidenced by the horse's responsiveness; steady elastic connection cultivating athletic expression. Accuracy - precise placement of the figures and transitions, the effectiveness of the rider's aids determines the accurate fulfillment of the required movements of the tests	6.5		6.5	nice job with the geometry , needs to be clear about correct bending on outside aids / particularly going kleft horse was often poll to right / avoid leaning to turn as that put horse on shoulders .
33		5	Harmony	The horse accepts the aids and influence of the rider with attention, relaxation and confidence; and demonstrates a willing partnership between horse and rider resulting in a free flowing performance	7	2	14	horse is clearly willing to be round to connection.. I commend you for that. work on the correct bend and keep more engagement, impulsion in order to be more balanced ( off the 4hand) . develop0ment of the thoracic sling will improve athletic free flowing performance.
34		This is an attractive team. some irregularity in the jog ( behind) mars today's performance. check for comfort? for online showing for judges ease and better assessment of your aqccuracy suggest : rotate your letters 1/4 turn so the letters point towards the camera "C" . suggest more colorul letters or noteiceable markers as these elegant white kletters blend in with the sand.
