<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 5473112, member: 8708&quot;]I think there is a degree of understanding by the maker as to how a horse moves here and a degree of artistic license to make a balanced piece of work.</p><p>It’s not so much about speed as the effect of the training on the correct movement of the horse.</p><p>I’ll get on my soapbox a bit here about what modern dressage with incorrect training can do to ruin horses natural paces.</p><p>This is how a horse should trot. Diagonal pairs with front and hind leg at the same angle.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]415817[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Correct dressage (Slightly over bent in neck but that’s another issue)</p><p>Diagonal pair pretty much parallel.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]415818[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Incorrect training. Lines aren’t parallel. Front legs are flung too far out in front and hind leg (the ‘engine’) is left behind which is very detrimental to the horses soundness and welfare. I could go on for hours but I won’t bore you any more than I already have!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]415819[/ATTACH]Hmm, I think this thread has gone well off piste![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
