That is so impressive and interesting and I adore the way of learning from the horse and respecting his personality as well. Thank you for this interview. Merci beaucoup
Very lovely to watch! Looking at Sultan's Spanish walk is very revealing. While he's getting that big stretch through the shoulder, allowing him to achieve such height and reach with the front legs, he maintains all the energy and follow through with the hind legs. Look at the overtrack he maintains during the Spanish walk. So often during the Spanish walk you see the horse losing impulsion and reach with the hind legs while they are concentrated on the front leg action, but they tend to lose both height and reach in front. It depends, of course, on the horse’s level of training, physical development, what individual conformation allows, etc.
