Quilla I-2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3jRKfIddJg
freestyle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_6xB6X5RUE (from Slumdog Millionaire)
Styling the cheap looking cooling vest, but, I didn't get heatstroke! (One GP rider did three movements and retired, too hot.)
7.5's for both horses on pirouettes and half passes.
BTW, yes, Quilla can halt and walk and we've been working on it and she's been great at home.
Would LOVE feedback on freestyle. The judge said the music didn't really enhance her. Which of the two types of music do you like?
This is the other music from Paul Leonard Morgan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVintwo09kI
I need to redo the choreography again, so no passage into/out of first halt, or canter out of so I can get a halt. Maybe passage in and start with a walk and break up the walk. I think this one, though I like it, has too much p/p. I need to cut back. I added another HP sequence to it, which I think is good. Maybe take out some p/p and add double pirouettes. The pirouettes and p/p have coefficients of 2, so I need to emphasis them. I really like coming out of canter (when I'm not behind the music) and doing extended trot because that's usually when I get the best from her, and it's super easy to go from that to piaffe. Maybe rework with a canter, ext. trot, piaffe, passage piaffe. Maybe double one handed pirouette at the end? The halt in this one was from a piaffe one handed, and she usually does it well.
Seriously, all feedback welcome. I will enter a show in a month and do both days and have time to rework Quilla's whole freestyle. Quinn's is right where I want it now.
