Sally getting 2nd Place with Thuy
in Novice Test C
 
Warming up before the class.
 
It was so windy they knocked over the letters before the class so it wouldn't happen during the test.
Thuy listened during the test and consistently gave at the trot. Something they've been working on.
Nicely forward, just a little in front of the vertical. (I typically don't mind a little in front of the vertical, but usually when Thuy does it, he's bracing against your hands and hollowing)
 
I'm sure he was a little angry. The head wind was horrible in that direction...
Softening again.
 
The comment the judge made was to ride the canter and balance the horse. This shows what she meant.
A great ride.
They had a really nice halt at the end...
