Goodness no - you are not embarrassing yourself! Scores of 70.43 & 65 are hardly embarrassing. Heck, I'd put them into the boast category. 
Yes the coefficients are the ones with the multiplier. They are used to put special emphasis on certain movements such as the free walk. Your score of 8 on the free walk is very respectable and not at all surprising for a Kiger as I have come to realize. If unimpeded by the rider I would think many if not most Kigers have a nice deep strided, swinging free walk. Next time you go to a show watch the walk of other horses closely. The big free walk doesn't necessarily come easy for many.
The collective scores are also coefficients. Collectives measure the natural ability and training ability of horse and rider based on the overall ride not specifics like the movements. These are the gait, impulsion, submission and rider coefficients that you posted. Again, very respectable scores. That "pretty picture" is no where as easy to obtain as it would seem. But unless we try we will never know that would we? You and Sofie can claim that "pretty picture" due to your hard work. You should be very proud!
