My only problem with TWH dresage is that the difference between a flat walk and a running walk can be a bit blurry. A trot down to a walk is obvious and would be heavily faulted for dropping to a walk for a tight movement.
wow he's gorgeous! can i ask why you dropped your rein when you saluted tho? is that the standard now? i haven't seen a test in a long time and just wondered. again...gorgeous horse!
Thanks for your kind words. I dropped the reins because that was part of the test; it may be different because it was a dressage test written specifically for gaited horses.
Yes, he does. This was a basic dressage test for gaited horses, so no cantering was needed. To see Ivory Pal's rocking chair canter, please see his other videos here on You Tube.
I LOVE Ivory Pal :D
