 Rising trot - Ok, so she is slightly behind the vertical
here, and the poll is not quite the highest point. (shouts of protests about the use of the Pelham! Note light contact though - NOT pulling the head in. If I was, that huge bulge would be apparent on
the underside of the neck). However, she is clearly using herself more behind, her topline is released, but he hasn’t yet the strenght to lift her back. As soon as she is
a little fitter, I would push the trot out just a littl emore and the neck would extend accordingly, and the back as it strenghtens, will start to lift more. Her expression is happy and the movement very light.
