Throughout our training of the riding horse it is our object to 
attain lightness in the front through increasing activity of the 
quarters; but lightness alone is of no value unless we 
maintain ...and improve, free and generous forward 
movement... In fact if we had to choose between the two, 
free forward movement would be more the important quality.
