For Intro C, we had 15 riders in our class, and the tests ranged from Intro B, Beg Novice, Novice, Prelim and Western. This was the first time we had shown a test where we had to canter. We had been working hard on our transitions, and she was with me. Our canter transitions in warmup were sharp and balanced. Yippie!! I think the scores were slightly high, they ranged from 63.4 - 72.9. Our ride was great. We got 7s on our canter with remarks of balanced transition, smooth steady rhythm. Our final halt was a 7.5 with smooth turn and straight halt. Woohoo! 7.5 on Impulsion and 7s on all but geometry which was 6.5. Comments of well ridden, steady pace and nice transitions. Very balanced with stead stretch. We ended up 6th with a 70.5. I think I was more excited about this one than I was about winning the other class. She was just so good, and I was really happy because we warmed up on our own. Our trainer was tied up warming up some of her younger students for jumping.
I felt she was maybe slightly quick in both our tests. I should have slowed her down or packaged her a little more. She clicks her heels when she gets a little rushy, and she did it a few times in both our tests.
