Paragon really seems off on his right hind, somewhere up high to me. Anyone else see it? Consistently short striding, tentative placement, lack of push?Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-60673646059331102652012-04-13T22:35:22.406-04:002012-04-13T22:35:22.406-04:00Exactly.Exactly.Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-83829144571047998822012-04-13T21:08:22.192-04:002012-04-13T21:08:22.192-04:00Personally - I love this freestyle.

Paragon's footfalls were calculated completely "on point" with this selection...and whomever produced/mixed this piece of music for them did a fantastic job. It's still new...however, I am sure the more the pair can practice and Heather in FLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-35173841450962390722012-04-13T20:38:36.540-04:002012-04-13T20:38:36.540-04:00ehhh, the music was bad.

When I first started watching Paragon I was astounded by his movement but as they have climbed up he has lost that float and his hind end often seems to be moving at a different rate than his front.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-7436585167051002882012-04-13T18:21:58.557-04:002012-04-13T18:21:58.557-04:00Actually, I kind of liked it, mostly because it wa...Actually, I kind of liked it, mostly because it was very original and the ride itself had some original concepts, including the walk entrance and the one tempis into the final halt. Not perfected yet as the passage/piaffe transitions are a little lacking in energy, but looks like a "work in progress." <br /><br />Was it actually a competition? Paragon was wearing ear covers.

And Rusty's freestyle? My all-time favorite!!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.com
