Record 1 2005-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Anatomy
  • Horse Husbandry
  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
CONT

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.

OBS

This horse is high in the croup making for a downhill horse to the front. This will make this horse heavy on the front.

French

Domaine(s)

Lorsque la taille au garrot est supérieur, le cheval est dit «haut du devant», il est fait en montant; dans le cas contraire on dit qu'il est «bas du devant», il est fait en descendant, en plongeant, en brouette.
