123- 2023 USEF SECOND LEVEL, TEST 3
|
| Purpose: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and now begins to accept more weight on the hindquarters as the collected and medium gaits develop. A greater degree of straightness, suppleness, throughness, and balance are required to perform the movements with ease and self-carriage. All trot work must be done sitting. |
