11	2	C H-X-F	Track left Change rein	Regularity and quality of trot; straightness; bend and balance in turns	7		7	energetic steps, straight line, balanced in corner. once horse is a bit more balanced from the HQ with more cadence score will increase
12	3	A-C	Serpentine 3 equal loops width of the arena	Regularity and quality of trot; supple changes of bend on centerline; geometry; balance	8	2	16	good geometry and supple changes of bend, trot could be more expressive for higher score
13	4	Between C & M	Working canter right lead	Willing, calm transition; regularity and quality of gaits; bend and balance in corner; straightness	7		7	nicely on aids to canter but leans on rider's inside leg, canter needs jump and expression
14	5	B	Circle right 20m	Regularity and quality of canter; shape and size of circle; bend; balance	7		7	fairly bakanced but leaning into rider's inside leg and twisting in poll, add jump to canter
15	6	A	Working trot	Willing, calm transition; regularity and quality of trot; bend and balance in corner	6	2	12	this transition is at A so really good preparation is needed. use more half halts to help horse so that he makes the transition in the right place and is better balanced from the HQ rather than running into his shoulders
16	7	Before K K-E	Medium walk Medium walk	Willing, calm transition; regularity and quality of walk	7	2	14	fluid transition and nice march in walk but horse is overbent to the right which causes him to twist in poll and allows him to duck behind the vertical
17	8	E-M M	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, calm transitions; bend and balance in corner	6.5	2	13	covers ground but lacks stretch forward and down. rarther than pulling back on reins, give them forward and use leg to encourage horse to actively reach for the connection
18	9	C	Working trot	Willing, calm transition; regularity and quality of trot; bend and balance in corner; straightness	6.5		6.5	prompt but starts from the front end rather than pushing into hand from hind legs
19	10	C-A	Serpentine 3 equal loops width of the arena	Regularity and quality of trot; supple changes of bend on centerline; geometry; balance	7.5	2	15	supple changes of bend and correct geometry but horse drops too low in poll at times and twists in poll

21	12	B	Circle left 20m	Regularity and quality of canter; shape and size of circle; bend; balance	6.5		6.5	strong and leaning on inside shoulder causing circle to become more oval than round. poll low and braced against hand. balance improves after circle, increase jump in canter
22	13	C	Working trot	Willing, calm transition; regularity and quality of trot; bend and balance in corner; straightness	6	2	12	transition late and against hand. use the corner to prepare with half halts to help horse get the outside hind leg more under him so that he is more balanced in the transition. he becomes strong and fallsa on the forehand/pulls in caonnection on this lead and needs to better balance from his HQs for increased ease in the downward
23	14	E Before E E	Circle left 20m in rising trot, allowing 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, calm transitions	7.5	2	15	some lovely moments but be sure not to make hands wide as thast allows horse to fall onto forehand rather than maintaining level balance
24	15	A X	Down centerline Halt, salute	Bend and balance in turn; regularity and quality of trot; willing, calm transition; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	7		7	straight and balanced but could be steadier in bridle
