Enter working trot rising.

Halt through medium walk.
Salute - Proceed working trot rising.
Regularity, qualityof trot; willing, calm transitions; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)66energetic but could be straighter, over shot the CL from outside the arena and then overbent head and neck to make the turn- this set him up to fall thru his left shoulder and wiggle to become balanced and straight
12
2CTrack left, working trot rising.Regularity; bend and balance in turn and corner66a little sluggish and overbent in neck. this is Intro not FEI- you don't need to try to ride such a sharp corner- ride it more like part of a 10m circle so that he can be balanced thru his body
13
3ECircle left 20 meters, working trot rising.Regularity; shape and size of circle; bend; balance66steady tempo but not forward. tends to lean on rider's inside leg rather than yielding to it to create supple bend in the body. rider tends to post in the back of the saddle rather than the middle which further slows him down
14
4Between K & AMedium walk.Willing, calm transition; regularity, quality77nice forward transition into walk, walk shows some march but needs more
15
5F-EFree walk.Regularity, reach, and ground cover with overtrack of free walk allowing complete freedom to stretch the neck forward and downward77relaxed and swinging but he seems willing to stretch even more if rider will allow longer rein. try to increase stride length without tightening his back
16
6E-HMedium walk.Willing,calm transition; regularity, quality, overtrack66clear rhythm but needs more march and to be steadier in connection- he tends to bounce and doesn't settle into a consistent balance- head is level than low
17
7Between H & CWorking trot rising.Willing, calm transition; regularity of trot; bend and balance in corner66willing into trot but lacks energy and push- feels a little labored and that rider is keeping him going rather than hom being self-motivated- get him more infront of your leg
18
8BCircle right 20 meters, working trot rising.Regularity; shape and size of circle; bend; balance6.56.5steady tempo and better energy here. supple bend and more consistent in the balance. note that your reins get a little loose and floppy- ride more energetically from the HQ into the hand

What a nice boy! I love his relaxed, floppy ears. Add a little more energy overall and feel him start to power up into your hand. He has nice level balance naturally but, if your reins get loose or you fall forward, he falls on his forehand. Try make you corners more fluid and balanced. As you both become more consistent overall, scores will increase. Nice job.
