Just musing here…
The best gymnasts are usually small in stature with shortish legs.
Iberian horses excel at the collected movements, but don’t pull off the extensions as well, nor have as much suspension.
Totilas is, I believe, 17h but is not as rectangular in form as is usually desired.
Hmmmmmm :-)[/QUOTE]
A friend who met Totilas up close and personal says he’s 16.1 or 16.2 at the most. And very well-balanced and well-conformed.
There are lots of us riding dressage horses who do better at collection and don’t have that huge moment of “airtime” suspension, like Morgans, Iberians, Arabs etc.
