I really like Kieran. He is so fast with his front legs, and seems to be acutely aware of where the poles are. I think you should have fun with him for years to come. I thought it was a good round…but I did notice something I would like to say. When you made that right roll-back turn to the 3 rail blue/white vertical, you “nipped” at his mouth to shorten his stride…..a couple of times. It’s OK to pull against his mouth to shorten his stride in order to slow down or just to help him get a better spot. Try not to NIP at his mouth. Think of it more like picking up a bucket of water that you don’t want to spill.
Other than that…I like the horse, and I think Sonja rides pretty darn well!!
