  • Movement should be with reach and drive within equilateral triangles that pass through the scapula and pelvis.
  • There should be good driving power in the hindquarters with good outreach in the forequarters.
  • Propulsion comes from the rear.
  • The rear leg moves forward in synchronisation with the opposite front leg.
  • Placing of the rear foot should not cross or intefere with the front leg.
  • The front and rear legs travel through straight lines with no convergence towards the centre.
  • Movement is free flowing, balanced and vigorous.
  • The topline should remain level.
  • Carriage should be proud, with effortless movement and ground covering.
