Kind of exciting.:D

One thing is very obvious though, the horses that are more tense are penalized, even when they have exceptional potential, they don't score well here if they are tense. It's very clear that they cannot go as freely and loosely forward when they must be held under control due to tension and excitement, and they lose points and can't have as good range of motion or swing over the back as well. In one group a horse was a really exceptional mover, but the lesser mover who was more relaxed and loose won the group.

Oooh...could it be that the judges aren't actually as bad as we say?
