37- 2022 WDAA LEVEL 2 TEST 4
|
Purpose: Tests confirm that the horse, having achieved the impulsion required in Level 1, now accepts more weight on the hindquarters (collection); moves with an uphill tendency especially in the lengthened paces; and is reliably and lightly on the bit. A greater degree of straightness, bending, suppleness, balance and self-carriage is required than at Level 1. Regularity and quality of the gaits is considered in all movements. |
