All righty! Piaffe! Passage! Pirouettes!
Everything done for 9s at least! Just great! And—the Fourth P—Performance—as
welll!
Beautiful two-tempis a circle. Extended trot into
passage - whew!
Extended canter into immediate passage pirouette!
Wowsers!
The last move — centerline, one handed passage to the halt…what a
showman and what a spectacular horse
But the walk is so-so, and the rider—never one of the most
elegant--is way too visible with aids, even though the horse does not
appear to take offense (except one teensy moment).
