Re: [RC] Flat croup ?s - Barbara McCrary

This might work if you are planning to ride only flat rides, but
flat-crouped horses do not climb nor descend hills well.

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!  nikki
