What was she being judged on?

Ok..now THAT is more like what I was thinking...maybe with a bit more collection. I don't think I dreamt it up, so it must have been a TyG at Nationals or on Charlie's old board that showed a LOT of lift in the legs with collection...hard to describe, but VERY Iberian...

Thank you Brigette....you know THAT looks like a lot of fun.

What was she being judged on?
What constitutes a good 'run'? What would place one exhibitor above another? What are they looking for? Do you know how this horse placed?
Was this a good run?

Sorry so many questions, but I haven't seen this before - so don't know exactly what constitutes a good performance as opposed to a not so good performance.

They are being judged on an even consistent gait, collected trot and galope are prefered. Their abilty to do the eight and serpentine in the two gaits.
This mare has a very nice collected trot, though she is known to be too fast, her trot is almost a trocha sometimes. Her galope is ok. I'll load some more videos up.

Observe the difference in the mare's galope and the other horses' galope.
