Topic: What ‘tracking up’ means specifically, what it is supposed to indicate as a way of assessing a horse’s balance – and why tracking up is NOT a good or reliable indicator of the horse’s overall balance or even hindquarter engagement. The discussion also goes over judging criteria that is written compared to how judges actually judge during a competition.
