This picture illustrates the meaning of an "uphill" canter better than any explanation. The haunches are flexed; as a result, the neck assumes a high degree of relative elevation, and the shoulder can move freely. The straight, stretched, deep, supple seat is simply ideal. Clearly visible is also the three-in-one rein contact, which enables a more precise effect of teh curb reins than the now common contact with divided reins, since they are both united in the left hand.

Maximum relative elevation. The neck is visibly pushed up by the hind legs. As a result, the base of the neck fills out and becomes strong and stable. Notice also the absence of wind puffs or the like in the legs. This is a clear sign of prudent, sparing training, whereas today most horses show these signs of excessive and incorrect demands.
