First Level Test 2 Take 1

 


Slight change of plan.  I decided to try First Level Test 2 for my second online competition this year.  I figured since it adds leg yields and canter lengthens and he is good at leg yields we would go for it.


I was really pleased with this test.  It was much more forward in general, I sat up better in the canter so he was more forward and better balanced, and overall it felt and looked pretty good.



I thought the further remarks were on the money and adding them to the comments on Test 1 gives me a good working template for the next couple of weeks.  The championship show is in the beginning of August and I’ll be doing both tests.  I think I can definitely improve on Test 1 but I’m not so sure on Test 2.  The weakness in Test 2 is the canter and that is a matter of strength which is going to take some time to improve.  See Test 2 HERE if you’re interested.
