1				PURPOSE: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and having achieved the thrust required in First Level, now accepts more weight on the hindquarters (collection); moves with an uphill tendency, especially in the medium gaits; and is reliably on the bit. A greater degree of straightness, bending, suppleness, throughness, balance and self-carriage is required than at First Level.			RIDER #	7976

9			TEST	DIRECTIVES	POINTS	*	TOTAL	REMARKS
10	1	A X	Enter collected trot Halt, salute Proceed collected trot	Engagement, uphill balance and quality of trot; clear, balanced transitions; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	7		7	straight, trots out of halt with shoulders not HQ
11	2	C H-P P	Track left Change rein, medium trot Collected trot	Bend and balance in turns; moderate lengthening of frame and stride with engagement, elasticity, suspension, straightness and uphill balance	5.5		5.5	quickens but strides do not lengthen not do shoulders left and HQ sit, rider behind vertical which could cause horse to hollow rather than lift back
12	3	P-K	(Transitions H and P) Collected trot	Clear, balanced transitions; consistent tempo	6		6	clear transitions although up is slow to develop
13	4	K-E E	Shoulder-in right Turn right	Angle, bend and balance; engagement and quality of trot	6	2	12	too much angle- needs bend- HQ should be travelling stright on raiol
14	5	B B-M	Turn left Shoulder-in left	Angle, bend and balance; engagement and quality of trot	7.5	2	15	nicely positionned
15	6	C	Halt, rein back 3 to 4 steps Proceed medium walk	Immobility; willing steps back with correct rhythm and count; straightness; clear transitions	5.5	2	11	out behind in halt which makes RB difficult- pulled into 2 steps only, crooked
16	7	C-S	Medium walk	Regularity and quality of walk	7	2	14	active march and consistent frame and connection
17	8	S-F F	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; clear, balanced transitions	6.5	2	13	some nice steps but inconsistent in stretch and ground cover
18	9	Before A A	Shorten stride in walk Collected canter right lead	Clear, balanced transition; regularity and quality of gaits	5		5	wrong lead corrected through trot
19	10	K-S S	Medium canter Collected canter	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride with engagement, elasticity, suspension, straightness and uphill balance; consistent tempo; clear balanced transitions	6		6	modest- uphill but needs to cover more ground- VERY slow to comeback
20	11	C	Circle right 10m	Regularity and quality of canter; shape and size of circle; bend; balance	5		5	much too large
21	12	M-E E-V	Change rein Counter canter	Regularity, quality and balance of canter; straightness	7	2	14	well ridden to maintain balance as horse is starting to fall onto FH
22	13	V K	Collected trot Medium walk	Regularity and quality of gaits; clear, balanced transitions	8		8	balanced, obedient, tactfully ridden
23	14	Before A A	Shorten stride in walk Collected canter left lead	Clear, balanced transition; regularity and quality of gaits	6		6	hollow nut obedient
24	15	F-R R	Medium canter Collected canter	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride with engagement, elasticity, suspension, straightness and uphill balance; consistent tempo; clear balanced transitions	6		6	modest- long reins allow horse to fall onto shoulders rather than collecting and sitting for increased thrust
25	16	C	Circle left 10m	Regularity and quality of canter; shape and size of circle; bend; balance	5		5	circle should be 10 m not 18m! could aids to collect horse, overbent in neck

28	19	Before A A	Shorten stride in walk Collected canter right lead	Clear, balanced transition; regularity and quality of gaits	5		5	wrong lead corrected through trot- rider tends to collapse to inside
29	20	E E-H-C-M	Collected trot Collected trot	Clear, balanced transition; quality of trot; consistent tempo	7		7	add lift and cadence
30	21	M-V V	Change rein, medium trot Collected trot	Moderate lengthening of frame and stride with engagement, elasticity, suspension, straightness and uphill balance	6.5		6.5	modest but shows increased lift in shoulders and suspension
31	22	V-A	(Transitions M and V) Collected trot	Clear, balanced transitions; consistent tempo	6		6	show more clear difference
32	23	A X	Down centerline Halt, salute	Bend and balance in turn; engagement, uphill balance and quality of trot; clear, balanced transition; straightness; attentiveness; immobility (min. 3 seconds)	9		9	!!

36		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
37		1	GAITS (Freedom and regularity)		7	1	7
38		2	IMPULSION (Desire to move forward; elasticity of the steps; suppleness of the back; engagement of the hindquarters)		6	2	12	needs increased engagement for medium work
39		3	SUBMISSION (Willing cooperation; harmony; attention and confidence; acceptance of bit and aids; straightness; lightness of forehand and ease of movements)		6.5	2	13	tactful and correct aids from rider will continue to address lightness- issues with right lead
40		4	RIDER’S POSITION AND SEAT (Alignment; posture; stability; weight placement; following mechanics of the gaits)		7	1	7	at times rider gets behind vertical rather than becoming stronger in core
41		5	RIDER’S CORRECT AND EFFECTIVE USE OF AIDS (Clarity; subtlety; independence; accuracy of test)		6.5	1	6.5	shorter reins would help rider keep horse in a consistent frame rather than allowing him to get strung out/long in the frame and onto the forehand
42		Talented rider on attractive and capable horse. Some lovely moments. Work on up transition to right lead- rider can collapse to the inside in both directions and this will impact the transition. Try to keep reins short to help clarify for horse how much room he has so that he maintains his uphill balance rather than lengthening his frame onto his shoulders. Increased engagement will improve medium gaits. VERY LARGE canter circles impact this score significantly!!
