23		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	7		7
24		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6		6	needs to be clearly in front of the aids with more energy
25		3	Submission	Acceptance of steady contact, attention, and confidence.	6	2	12	often slightly above the beit and counter benbt
26		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Keeping in balance with the horse	6.5		6.5

29		this look like a very pretty horse and this team looks comfortable with each other. Now begin to focus on accuracy. like centerlines and immobile halts while saluting. keep up more energy while moving( both gaits) and rider to be more elastic in connection to allow horse to lower neck and come into softer connection.
