26		1	Gaits	Freedom and regularity	6.5		6.5
27		2	Impulsion	Desire to move forward with suppleness of the back and steady tempo.	6	2	12
28		3	Submission	Acceptance of steady contact, attention, and confidence.	6	2	12
29		4	Rider’s Position and Seat	Keeping in balance with the horse	6		6
30		5	Rider’s Correct and Effective Use of the Aids	Correct bend and preparation of transitions	6		6
31		Inaccuracies decrease scores and are an easy fix. This is a nice horse but lacks true feeling of forward energy and power especially in canter work. As rider is better upright and balanced, horse will become better balanced. Ride more from hind end into the hand and less from the hand. Horse needs to be able to come up thru the back with power not just get long and on shoulders.
