She also says: "In pictures of extended trot you can see very well that the diagonal is broken. This is only possible if the horse has a tight back and a tight neck. You can only make a horse move like this when you have enough pressure in front, enough pressure in the back. Through the stiffness in the top line, the horse is able to do this spectacular but artificial trot." Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
