Rodeo enjoying his gallop on the 'Track'.
Despite the 92+ degrees in Tampa, Rodeo scored a 67.8 in his Grand Prix musical freestyle. The choreography has a lot of passage including the centerline entry to salute and passage voltes with transitions in and out of the trot and extended trot. It was written for cooler weather, for sure. The two tempi's happen on a short diagonal and continue along the rail, and the one tempi's start along the rail and have two 90 degree turns at B and E. It took some coaxing but the big guy figured out the trick after a few practice rounds. I was extremely happy with the 7.5's on both extended trot and canter since the heat was so oppressive and they both happen after all that Passage!
