This came up before when breeders and trainers were discussing the 
conformation and "no flat croups" issue. However, in Nancy Loving's book, 
Conformation 
and Performance,  she mentions the flat croup enabling the "long flowing 
stride" to "cover ground well at the trot because they can easily push back 
with 
their hind legs".  As the best job for this horse, distance trail riding is 
recommended.
Needing to further understand the issues here, I'm hoping someone will 
continue my education!  Comments/explanations more than welcome!!    Thanks!
