Can you tell me what this means please.....

Moves like a hackney behind...

Its in an ad of a horse I'm interested in and haven't a clue what it means...

Thanks in advance

High stepping??

 

[blackcob]

Extremely high and active stepping. I'd actually be a bit worried if a horse moved like that behind and wasn't a hackney, to be honest - could be indicative of pain.

 

[f_s_]

Very pronounced high hock action.?

Ummmm don't know why, but I would be wary! Possibly because of pain/back related issues

Sounds like it has Stringhalt

 

[teddyt]

Ditto DDD- could be stringhalt

 

[Scribbles]

Some welsh D's can move like that...

 

[rara007]

Very high and active stepping. Probably a positive, if the front legs match the back

I wouldn't be worried about it being in an advert for a hackneyX, welsh type or Gelderlander type...

 

[marvie]

Russian arabian action is also very high and powerful behind, does seem to pass into some partbreds as well.

Stringhalt?

 

[PucciNPoni]

Quite a lot of horses will move this way with the right sort of conformation. Morgans, Hackneys, Welsh Cobs, American Saddlebreds etc... with the right hip will often be very engaged and drive from behind. The interesting bit is whether or not the front end matches?

moves high and fast like a trotter!
