Lateral view
Do your best to ensure natural movement of the head and neck by allowing ample slack in the lead line. The more actively the horse is moving, the more information Saxon will be able to glean from the movement. Reluctance to move forward can be just as contextually important, so use your judgement when applying aids to encourage your horse to move.
Cranial/Caudal View
In these views, Saxon is looking for symmetry in pelvic swing, barrel swing, neck swing, and the protraction/retraction patterns of the limbs. The more square-on the video view, and the straighter the horse, the easier time Saxon will have picking out details.
Asymmetry in movement, or difficulty walking in a straight line can be contextually important so use your judgement when correcting your horse’s path of travel.
In the first clip, the bay gelding is quite wibbly-wobbly. Saxon allows him to do his best to maintain his path of travel without stepping in front of the camera, and without micro-managing his body position.
