Re: [RC] Flat croup ?s - Bette Lamore<My dressage instructor, years ago, said that the reason she did not like Arabs was because they never seemed to get their <hocks under themselves. They always had their rear legs trailing out behind.<Bonnie <So.Calif. She hasn't seen my horses then :-) Hal's offspring have been winning in open dressage shows -- we want to get a T-shirt that says "Arabian blood is warm enough for me!!" Jumpin Jak Flash, his grandkid, has been winning dressage all over-- go to Liz's site at http://www.CARLINARABIANS.COM to see all the dressage awards Jak has won--- in OPEN as well as Arabian classes! Well bred Arabians can get their hocks way under them. It is true it is harder to find those that do and even Donna Snyder-Smith said that Halynov moved unusually well for an Arabian-- well, actually her quote was "and when I saw him move... he took my breath away!" I really miss the lad, but it looks like his son Riverdance inherited his motion so dressage lovers do NOT have to go outside the Arabian breed to compete successfully in open shows. Bette -- Bette Lamore Whispering Oaks Arabians Home of Bunny and 16.2h TLA Halynov who lives on through his legacy Hal's Riverdance! http://www.arabiansporthorse.com Always remember: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
