Halve trin/half steps/halbe tritte
Working with Figo on getting more hankenbeugung; more pronounced flexion of the greater joints in the hindquarters. For Figo it is mainly his hocks that he finds difficult to bend enough in the carrying moment.
So this I have to keep in mind and try to find ways to develop his hock flexion while carrying weight, without overtaxing him.
Often I Can achieve this through the rein back as a preperation for the half steps.
