Further Remarks: This felt like a test, try thinking of riding movement to movement, planning each new step with half halts. I suggest put cones up to mark diameter of circles and serpentines. Greater accuracy leads to a more balances horse. Correct geometrical figures help. Try looking up the test you want to ride on YouTube using a video that has a score of 70% or better. We are visual learners, if there aren't any better to watch at home. This pair shows ability to do licences shows.
