The definition of ‘throughness’ (Durchlaessigkeit) – willingness of the horse to accept the rider’s aids obediently and freely, reacting promptly to the driving aids and swinging through with his hind legs actively in order to develop impulsion. The rein aids should ‘flow’ from his mouth over his poll, neck and back into his haunches without being blocked somewhere along the line by tension. It is often said that if you can do all this, the movement will be your reward!
