Judge’s comments were:

“Some pleasing work shown when maintaining the suppleness over the back and the through-ness to the bridle. With the poll a little higher, the higher marks will be maintained.”

Really happy with these comments, and with a couple of lower marks for the lengthening of strides, it’s not a bad start at the higher level. Clear we have more work to do – especially in the lengthening – without breaking and staying supple and relaxed. Definitely not out of our depth at this level though!
