As a rider, she wishes to improve sitting softly and following her horse’s movement, keeping even contact, and sitting tall.
Recent test collective comments Promising pair, needs confidence and confirming in Canter, walk turns and transitions in general, nicely elastic mover, develop more engaged uphill balance. Unfortunate tension, transitions need to be at the letter, “Charming mare!” needs to gain confidence but shows potential. Develop more power in medium.
Challenges and evasions Transitions, tension, spooking. Strong in the hand sometimes, especially when distracted.
