1. Stelling: check if there is space between the lower jaw and the atlas vertebra.

2. Stelling: Check is the lower jaw has moved a little over to the outside, aligning the molars on the outside

3. Stelling: Check is both ears are on the same horizontal plane, with the outside ear a bit forward compared to the inside ear.

4. Bending: Check for a fluent curve in the spine, from tail to ears.

5. Bending: Check if the distance between the outside hip and shoulder is bigger compared to the distance of the inside hip and shoulder.

6. Bending: Check if the manes drop gently to the inside. 

7. Bending: Check if the ribs on the inside swing down when the inside hind leg steps forward.

8. Bending: Check if you can see the inside of the pelvis swing forward-down when the inside hind leg comes forward.

9. Bending: Check if the tail also curves inwards in bending.

10. Bending: Check if the inside hind leg steps under the point of weight (under the girth, between the front legs).
