Ok as a judge, breeder and owner of Tennessee Walking Horses and American
Saddlebreds... says who? (That they are incorrect?). The walking horse move
in a laterally based gait. They do not trot. Essentially they have Two
gaits.. a flat walk and a canter. The running walk that the TWH was bred to
do is an extension of the walk.
In saddlebreds. They are a trotting breed. While they are animated and
collected, they are not supposed to trot like those of a Hackney Horse.
The walking horse is built for comfort and a gait more "forward going". The
saddlebred is built for animation, brilliance and presence. You know this
as you breed morgans which today are no more than refined versions of the
ASB.

Disagree... angles and conformation are very important in correct movement.
Example: Saddlebred or Tennessee Walker can move with great style and
movement but angles and conformation incorrect. Long down pastern,
hocks touching ground is not correct but most of the time places with
the judge for they are showing style and movement. Then add a straight
shoulder with neck placement incorrect.
Great site explaining...

Now for the test... A couple years ago, I was
sitting ringside with a very well known judge. We were discussing
conformation, specifically angulation and movement. The
judge told me that he rarely studies the angles/conformation of the dogs
he's judging; he only considers the dog's movement. In other
words, if the dog moves correctly, he must be built correctly.
Agree or disagree? Please discuss.
