Hocks and knees should be as close to level as possible. The colt must cut up at 3 points well, neck, topline and point of buttock (or pinbone)..Deep cleavage and /or..a bit of a protruding breast is desired. This is true about the hocks..as you stated..one that leaves hock behind or is "campy" should be placed elsewhere. Excellent Article. Trying to breed for gaited is a crap shoot. Some have so much heart that even with some of the "Faults" discussed...they can just blow your mind anyway! As I said great article. Conformation is paramount when selecting a gaited prospect.
