Horse With Upright Shoulder at Elizabeth Zambrano blog

Horse With Upright Shoulder. Horses with straighter shoulders and pastern angles tend to have shorter strides. Heavier horses (draught types) tend to have more upright. A horse with a laid back shoulder angle (less than 40 degrees) will have a long swooping stride, but will be more difficult to fit a saddle to. An upright shoulder causes the shoulder joint to be open and set low over a short, steep arm bone, making it difficult for a horse. When a horse stands square, they should have a shoulder angle between 40 and 55 degrees. A slope of 45 degrees is considered ‘laid back’ and is ideal for dressage horses. A slope of 55 degrees is considered ‘straight or upright’ and is more useful in jumping. A horse with an upright shoulder angle (greater than 55 degrees) will have a small, choppy stride that is not pleasurable to ride. The connection of the shoulder to the horse’s upper forelimb (scapula to humerus) should form a right angle or, even better, less. The elbow should be parallel to the horse’s body. The shoulder should be sloping, which is believed to give the horse a longer stride. At this angle, the horse's elbow is directly below the front of the withers.
