The caption reads:
Horse: good- head nearly vertical with the poll as the highest point. The hind leg has stepped fairly well forward, almost to the mid-line of the body (not far enough for an extended walk, but fine for a medium walk). Left ear indicates attention to the rider's left leg, the right ear is paying attention to something in front. Note the swished tail (rider could probably have been a little more diplomatic in asking him to step forward). Rider: fairly good rein contact, fairly straight line between elbow, wrist and bit. Her lower leg is a little too far back, but her calf is on her horse, and the toe is pointed forward, though her heel could be down a little more. She may be slightly forward on her seatbones: she could stretch up through her upper-body, and push her stomach slightly out and forward.
