Another thing to remember, is that the legs in the trot, always follow each other diagonally.
One of the extended trot pictures you posted as a good pose reference, is not trotting correctly

It's really hard to find a pictures with a horse carrying it's head correct, collected correctly and where the legs are following each other XDD

Thanks for this, I for one as you know have been terrible with pictures for dressage. One thing that I think would be a good idea is to have a thread with accepted poses available for download, that people won’t be marked down for using. With the different horse templates being used, some can look as though they use rolkur but that’s not the entrants fault if you know what I mean.
I do hours of searching online for poses for dressage and the template is an issue for me. It’s temporarily put me off showing as no matter what I do adjusting my horses template, it still shows up behind the vertical.
Not a complaint, just a thought

Ahh right I might need to uninstall my sliders to see if they are affecting the pose directly then. Thank you

I find horses with big crests - some WBs especially stallions and Spanish types. Its impossible for their pole to be the highest point while working on the bit. Same with Valegro, his nose is vertical but there is no way his pole can physically be the highest point unless held very tight - bring the neck up 

I absolutely agree on both those points, it shows how much the aesthetics of incorrect dressage has infiltrated the sport that we're breeding horses that aren't physically capable of working correctly because it looks pretty. It's a shame, but unfortunately a trend is a trend as we'll just have to wait and see where it goes in the next 10-20 years. Of course a young horse shouldn't be pushed into a frame too early, long, slow, proper development is so so so crucial to a long and SOUND career and it's so frustrating to me to see all these incentives towards competing horses younger and younger. I can see where there is so much money in breeding, training, and competing these horses that investors want to see a return ASAP, but that doesn't make it ok. Overall it's a damn shame what happens in equine sport sometimes...

Deheive Aro That is true, his poll may be the highest point but he's not working through correctly, his leg angles and hollow back show a lack of throughness. Thought it's difficult to judge how a horse is going based on one photo. It's interesting to compare the classically correct dressage from 20-30 years ago and see how the way judges started pinning flashy movement without true throughness and correctness and how it's influenced breeding and training and the way dressage looks now. Hopefully with more people being aware of this maybe the trends will start to shift soon? Hopefully judges will start to steer away from the flashy incorrect dressage and start pinning riders and horses that really work properly. Time will tell!
