When watching movement of a young barrel prospect. What are the most important things to you, and what is everything you look for at each gait. Thanks

nice big foot, flat knee, large bone....nice fluid gait, especially at a trot, I want a horse that naturally really reaches out and has a big fluid stride.....

 Very little knee action. At the walk, I want that rear foot to land well ahead of where the front foot left. At the jog I want little knee action with action in the hock and a deep reach. At the lope, again very little knee. I want the hocks to be well underneath a deep. I don't want them to leave the hocks out behind. I want a lot of split between the legs in the back at the lope. I want them to be flat moving and rounded in the back basically. Pretty and fluid with little audible sound when the feet hit the ground. Soft moving, but with quick feet.
