That can vary too. Depends on how much horse is hanging over those front legs. The placement of the LS joint is important for a good jumper. Dagur's LS joint is right on target for that...so his talent for jumping is no surprise. Also, the placement of their stifle in relation to their sheath is also an indicator of a good jumper. If the stifle is below the sheath...it's an indication of a horse that has the ability to be 'scopey'.... As per the conformation clinic we attended last spring.. Wanda
