It's desirable that the horse should be built slightly uphill(from croup to wither) rather than the opposite, croup high. The croup-high horse will find it more difficult to collect. In collection the horse needs to flex his hocks and lower his croup taking the weight behind; this is called the ability to "sit". Being croup high can also make it easier for a horse to lose balance. 1, record 3, English, - uphill%20from%20croup%20to%20wither
