1				PURPOSE: To introduce the rider and/or horse to the sport of dressage. To show understanding of riding the horse forward with a steady tempo into an elastic contact with independent, steady hands and a correctly balanced seat. To show proper geometry of figures in the arena with correct bend (corners and circles).			RIDER #	10326	Link:	https://youtu.be/DzE0Dc0usHc

10	1	A Between X & C	Enter working trot rising. Medium walk.	Regularity, quality of trot; straightness, willing, calm transition. Regularity, quality, of walk	6.5		6.5	horse on the line, riders weight shifting right and left constantly in the stirrups in the posting , needs energy in the trot and walk , come closer to G before turning
11	2	C M	Track right. Working trot rising.	Bend and balance; willing, calm transition	6		6	work to use corner more correctly ( u cut it) needs impulsion and rounder connection on long side
12	3	A	Circle right 20 meters, working trot rising.	Regularity;shape and size of circle; bend; balance	5.5		5.5	circle losing correct shape and horse losing impulsion , rider posting slightly behind the motion of the horse
13	4	K-X-M	Change rein.	Regularity of trot; straightness; bend and balance in corner	5		5	needs energy to track up, slowing, did not get on the rail at M or use the corner
14	5	C	Circle left 20 meters, working trot rising.	Regularity; shape and size of circle; bend; balance	5		5	not on the rail to start circle at C, needs energy for impulsion /connection circle shape and energy
15	6	Between C & H	Medium walk.	Willing, calm transition; regularity, quality	5		5	use corner, show more energy
16	7	H-X-F	Free walk.	Regularity, reach and ground cover with over track of free walk allowing complete freedom to stretch the neck forward and downward	5.5		5.5	tracks up but did not show stretch below withers
17	8	F-A A	Medium walk. Down centerline	Regularity, quality, willing, calm transition, bend and balance in turn Straightness on centerline.	5.5		5.5	overshot the centreline and drifted right to the line
18	9	X	Halt and salute.	Straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	6		6	moving while saluting, needs immobility
19	Leave arena in free walk. Exit at A.

22		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6.5		6.5
23		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6		6	need energy thru test
24		3	Submission	Acceptance of steady contact, attention, and confidence.	6	2	12
25		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Keeping in balance with the horse	5.5		5.5	work to be more balanced left to right with weight even on BOTH stirrups, then arms and hands can be more independent
26		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Correct bend and preparation of transitions	5		5	needs to be more balanced
27		6	Geometry and Accuracy	Correct size and shape of circles and turns	5		5	corners, center lines and circles to be more accurate
28		this attractive team looks very comfortable with each other and this looks like a kindly horse. Rider work on balance and equitation and then the aiding will be more confident. Horse should be asked to keep more energy in both gaits to improve connection. Become more familiar with the geometry in order to gain points .
