Horses have different  ways of moving at the big trot.   Some spread their 
hind legs to the outside and may even pass the fronts during the stride.
Some stride directly in line with the front leg flight path.
> From a "power" point, which do you feel is more efficient?    Pushing off 
with the hinds directly in line with forward motion, or pushing off from a 
line outside the body mass?
Which is apt to use the "top line" muscle/bone structure with the least 
effort?
I've watched a lot of horses, and ridden a few, with both actions and have 
some feelings about it.  Just wondering what others think when selecting a 
horse for endurance..
