6889 Cheralyne

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
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 #	6889

36		COLLECTIVE MARKS			POINTS		TOTAL	REMARKS
37		1	GAITS (Freedom and regularity)		6.5	1	6.5	Walk and right lead canter need to develop more freedom.
38		2	IMPULSION (Desire to move forward; elasticity of the steps; suppleness of the back; engagement of the hindquarters)		6	2	12	Needs to be more supple over topline, and, balanced more over hindquarters for better engagement.
39		3	SUBMISSION (Acceptance of the bridle. Attention and confidence. Harmony. Lightness of the forehand. Ease of movements.)		5.5	2	11	Mouth open. Avoids connection. Balance on forehand.
40		4	RIDER’S POSITION AND SEAT (Alignment; posture; stability; weight placement; following mechanics of the gaits)		7	1	7	Basic position fairly correct. Arms could be more following.
41		5	RIDER’S CORRECT AND EFFECTIVE USE OF AIDS (Clarity; subtlety; independence; accuracy of test)		6.5	1	6.5	Aids need to create more throughness over topline and develop increased uphill balance.
42		Horse and rider show ability to achieve higher scores. Work to improve balance and self-carriage in all movements. Contact needs to be more elastic in "feel" on reins; and, seat/weight aids (half halts) need to encourage horse to take more weight over hindquarters.
