4b.Look at the triangles formed by this horse’s legs. The triangle of the hind legs is much smaller than the front legs. There is a gap between where the hind leg will land and where the front leg is. Therefore, this horse is not tracking up. The front triangle is almost 50% longer on the ground line than the back triangle. The horse has shortened, hollowed or extended the back in order to throw the shoulder and front leg forward in an exaggerated manner. Notice also that the pelvis is tipped up and back and the lower back is hollow.
