Dressage on Sunday and the video - crit please!

[monica987]

Well the prelim wasnt great, got 60.1%. He went well but very lazy and probably not tracking so wasn't too pleased. Then the novice. We got 61.2% and madea mistake. The winner had 63.2 so if I hadn't made the mistake I would have come joint 1st!! REally pleased as I forgot to give and retake over x etc in canter so Sparky did really well. Here is the video and I would love for your guys input to see what I can improve upon and comments on me and ponio. (remember he is 13.3 so doesnt have big flashy paces

)
Thankies

The video isn't great but there are bits that are clear

i think you both look fab!! -
looks v accurate and consistent, and he has a lovely rhythm. somtimes looked like he was ducking behind contact little bit? - maybe work on getting him to lengthen his neck and take rein forward if you know what i mean.
