Desired are diligent, cadenced and ground-covering basic paces (walk - four-beat, trot - two-beat, canter - three-beat). Movement should be elastic and energetic, developed from the hindquarters, transmitted over a supple, swinging back to the forehand which freely moves forward out of the shoulder. The direction of movement of the limbs should be straight and forward.

At the walk, movement should be supple, energetic and elevated, with clearly defined steps. At the trot and canter, there should be a clearly recognisable phase of suspension, with movements that are elastic, full of impulse and light-footed, carried with natural elevation of the neck and balance. Some knee action is desirable.

Jumping: Desired is elastic, scopey and deliberate jumping, displaying calmness and inPhoneligence. The jumping sequence should clearly show a phase of collecting, a powerful and quick push-off at takeoff, a distinct, quick angling of the limbs, a rounded back with noticeably projecting withers and a neck that is bent downward while the hind legs open up (bascule). During the entire sequence, the flow of movement and the rhythm of the canter should be maintained.
