Janet now guides us through the Intermediate B test. As they warm up, Janet observes that the rider should work on helping the mare keep her neck down in movements she is not secure in. She rides the test while Janet offers commentary and scores. Janet has her position the mare in renvers in the passage, and gives great tips for riding the zig zag. The pirouettes need to have a lower neck. She finishes the test, and Janet helps her with the unevenness in the piaffe and passage. They work on riding forward and big into the piaffe, and Janet explains the use of the medium trot in the development of the piaffe and passage.
