I always thought a good stamp referred to the horse being heavy boned. As it makes a good stamp on the ground.
God knows.
I've often wondered that.I've got one for you lot why are dressage markers AKEHMBF instead of abcdefg etc?
I've never understood it to mean that that the horse has a problem in any way - it's a criticism or observation of the ability (or otherwise!) of the rider.

Can I join in!
What does 'good stamp' mean. It seems to mean 'good example of breed' but I may be wrong!
Here's one - why do young horses who go to Exmoor grow at LEAST a hand bigger than they should have? (And the younger they are when they go there, the bigger they grow.) I'm guessing it's something in the soil - but I have sold youngsters between 32 and 4 who have ended up at least 6" bigger than the biggest of their full siblings! And a weanling filly who went to Exmoor - whose biggest full brother got to 17.2 WITHOUT going to Exmoor - may break the record judging by how much she's grow in just three months! Has anyone else experienced this? I KNOW breeding horses is a bit like rolling dice - but odd it's always Exmoor!
Maybe one of the Exmoor folk on here will know why that happens.If that's true.... How small would exmoor ponies be if they were bred elsewhere?

Theories on the order of dressage markers.

Because if was and old fashioned franking stamp you could reproduce it, over and over again. It’s usually used in stallions that really stamp their stock. So what ever mare you put them to their characteristics are dominant and they are similar to the sire.But why 'stamp'?
Palindrome.....more explanation, please as whilst it's a great answer, I still don't understand it. Risking demonstrating low IQ too
So "sur" meaning over and "sangle" girth - it's an over girth, pronounced ser-single
All these acronyms aren't actually answering why the arena letters are what they are

I'm now wondering if there's a difference between stud bred and moor bred stock in terms of height? I know free living NFs used to be smaller. (Not so much now though.)
if you breed them off the moor (any moor, doesn't have to be Exmoor-mine were all Cumbrian bred and there are those on Scorraig too) they tend to lose certain characteristics (same as the other natives) but I don't know if there's any link between height and being on Exmoor, generally anything bred off moor tends to get bigger. Icelandics (for comparison) make bigger heights here than those born and brought up in Iceland.

1) "flat bone" is about the tendons/ligament behind the cannon bone
You've never met one with 'both legs out of the same hole', then? Meaning extremely narrow chested.
