Karlotta and her horse Heaven is a beutiful Equipage and due to the facts that we have no more info, I will only give a short idea about what I see and what could be the work for Karlotta to do.This first pic shows Karlotta, bareback on a galopping horse. If we look at functionality, the only thing to say is that she has a chairseat. Using no saddle, prevents a good position. Comparing to a saddle that fits and puts you in a good position so you can give correct aids, this is more for free-time-riding and "Having fun" without any goal to make Dressage-movements.
If I compare to this very well known Horse-Man:

Where I can see the same, Its flashy but not functional, not a correct passage or in fact not comparable to real dressage-movements based on functionality. Its free, Its cool, Its great, but not dressage.
This next picture, shows a bit more fokus on movements, Karlotta want to create a nice shape. What we see is the lack in functionality based on the fact that left hind takes to much weight, cause of the inside hand (Right hand) is pulled backwards. The horse is on the diagonals but to flat over the croup, a bit swinging, yes, but not enough to give a good structure. Nice Equipage though! Right leg is pulled upwards to meet right shoulder and to give a more round horse on the inside, but, the only thing that is created here, is tension.
This last pic is very very hard to coach, the only thing a see is that left hind, once againg is the supportive leg and if that is the goal from the rider, its ok, if not, the rider should think more about which hindleg she want to be supportive for the rest of the Equipage and in what moment this should change.Nice Equipage as I wrote, and I´m curious about real dressage-pics to be able to be fair in my Coaching :-)
