	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
1				PURPOSE: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and in addition to the requirements of Training Level, has developed the thrust to achieve improved balance and throughness and maintains a more consistent contact with the bit. All trot work may be ridden sitting or rising, unless stated.			JUDGE:	Ida Norris

9	1	A X	Enter working trot Halt, salute Proceed working trot	Regularity and quality of trot; willing, clear transitions; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	6.5		6.5	tilt from right rein the entire line, shoulders right and haunches left at halt
10	2	C E-X	Track left Half circle left 10m, returning to track at H	Regularity and quality of trot; shape and size of half circle; bend; balance; straightness	6		6	rider leaned left to turn, horse needs outside bending aids ; poll to right thru out ( right hand stronger or higher) connection unsteady
11	3	B-X	Half circle right 10m, returning to track at M	Regularity and quality of trot; shape and size of half circle; bend; balance; straightness	6.5		6.5	more correct here as rider has poll right constantly ; lost points through in corner as horse hollow to right m-C
12	4	C Before C C	Circle left 20m in rising trot, allowing the horse to stretch forward and downward while maintaining contact Shorten the reins Working trot	Forward and downward stretch over the back into a light contact, maintaining balance and quality of trot; bend; shape and size of circle; willing, clear transitions	7	2	14	slight tilt from right rein, steps to be longer
13	5	H-P P	Change rein, lengthen stride in trot Working trot	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride; regularity and quality of trot; straightness; consistent tempo; willing, clear transitions; bend and balance in corner	6		6	needs hind legs more under and connection steadier , need correct bend to left thru short side before this moment
14	6	A	Medium walk	Willing, clear transition; regularity and quality of walk; bend and balance in corner; straightness	6.5	2	13	needed preparation and smoother transition
15	7	V-R R	Change rein, free walk Medium walk	Regularity and quality of walks; reach and ground cover of free walk allowing complete freedom to stretch the neck forward and downward; straightness; willing, clear transitions	6	2	12	only tracks up needs more stretch
16	8	M C	Working trot Working canter left lead	Willing, clear transitions; regularity and quality of gaits; bend and balance in corner	6	2	12	poll is to the right and a tilt from right rein.. right rein is tighter, shorter or higher / hind legs fell out c-H
17	9	H-V	Lengthen stride in canter	Willing, clear transition; moderate lengthening of frame and stride; regularity and quality of canter; straightness; consistent tempo	6.5		6.5	show energy but is quicker more than ground covering
18	10	V	Circle left 15m Develop working canter in first half of circle	Willing, clear transition; regularity and quality of canter; shape and size of circle; bend; balance	6		6	leans in and avoids bend, needs a much clearer transition ; horse is on shoulder in circle and short side
19	11	F-X-H X	Change rein Working trot	Willing, clear transition; regularity and quality of gaits; bend and balance in corner; straightness	6.5		6.5	nicely straight, needs to be steadier to connection. triangulated forearms rather than parallel forearms can improve elasticity between horse and rider
20	12	C	Working canter right lead	Willing, clear transition; regularity and quality of canter; bend and balance in corner	6	2	12	prompt no bend
21	13	M-P	Lengthen stride in canter	Willing, clear transition; moderate lengthening of frame and stride; regularity and quality of canter; straightness; consistent tempo	6.5		6.5	neck pulled to left and slightly quick
22	14	P	Circle right 15m Develop working canter in first half of circle	Willing, clear transition; regularity and quality of canter; shape and size of circle; bend; balance	6		6	needs more transition: try to show it in firsat 1/2 of circle ; bend needs to be on the outside aids: avoid leaning to turn
23	15	A	Working trot	Willing, clear transition; regularity and quality of trot; straightness; bend and balance in corner	6		6	counter bent on short side/ rider sitting on right seat bone and using right leg more : horse leans in and gets on shoulder with head to outside
24	16	K-R R	Change rein, lengthen stride in trot Working trot	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride; regularity and quality of trot; straightness; consistent tempo; willing, clear transitions; bend and balance in corners	6.5		6.5	tilt from right rein; hands wide and parallel forearms : horse braces topoline; needs throughness for longer steps. cross training with ground trotting poles and hill work can develop longer lengthening; needs bend left in short side
25	17	E X G	Half circle left 10m Down centerline Halt, salute	Bend and balance in half circle; regularity and quality of trot; willing, clear transition; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	6		6	tilt from right rein and horse falls/drifts right
26	Leave arena in free walk. Exit at A.

29		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6.5		6.5
30		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward; elasticity of the steps; suppleness of the back; engagement of the hindquarters	6	2	12	lengthenings/impulsion and back suppleness, haunches out thru corners
31		3	Submission	Willing cooperation; harmony; attention and confidence; acceptance of bit and aids; straightness; lightness of forehand and ease of movements	6	2	12	bend and connection
32		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Alignment; posture; stability; weight placement; following mechanics of the gaits	6.5		6.5	not level at shoulders, seat or hips; collapse over left rib cage arms to be more elastic
33		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Clarity; subtlety; independence; accuracy of test	6		6	bend aids and connection elasticity
34		this is a very attractive team. Horse needs to be correctly bending. rider is stronger with right side and right rein - develop lengthening with some cross training using cavaletti poles and hills, work to get bend correctly on outside aids. be more accurate and be aware that shorsides are significant at this level.. you must have bend and connection thru the corners between the movement. lots of potential! keep working!
