Indeed, his development behind the saddle was phenomenal. He had that almost straight, powerful hind leg which all good horses have, pronounced second thighs, was very high and truly moulded over the loins and had a beautiful, intelligent head. He was slightly dipped in his back. His action was remarkable. When he galloped his back seemed to get shorter and his legs longer. That was due to extraordinary hind leverage; his hind legs seemed to project right out in front of his forelegs. When he was going fast he galloped absolutely true, but when held in check to go half speed seemed to cross or 'plait' his forelegs. He did this 'plaiting' when walking, and you could actually hear him doing it. From the time I had him as a yearling, he was a constant source of worry to me in this way."
