34		What a lovely horse.. I love this horse! this horse needs to be very active and cover ground.. Must track up. rider did not post today. that might assist you another time.. horse needs rounder connection and lots of impulsion. Rider hands closer together for horse lightness and thoroughness. the wider your hands are- the more they brace/lean against the hand.
