Article 403: The Walk
| | 第403條: 慢步
|
1. The walk is a marching pace in a regular four time beat. This regularity combined with full relaxation must be maintained throughout all walk movements.
| | 1. 慢步是一種規律的四節拍行進步伐,在各種的慢步動作都必須維持規律且完全的放鬆。
|
2. When the fore leg and the hind leg on the same side move almost on the same beat, the walk tends to become an almost lateral movement. This irregularity, which might become an ambling movement, is a serious deterioration of the gait.
| | 2. 當同側的前肢和後肢幾乎同時動作時,慢步會傾向於幾乎是同側運動。這種不規整的運動是嚴重的錯誤步伐,有可能變成側對步運動。
|
3. The following walks are recognised: Medium walk, Collected walk, Extended walk and Free walk. There should always be a clear difference in the attitude and over-tracking in these variations.
| | 3. 慢步可分為中度慢步、縮短慢步、伸長慢步和自由慢步。各種不同的慢步應該有明顯的區別。
|
| 3.1. Medium Walk. A clear, regular and unconstrained walk of moderate lengthening. The horse, remaining 'on the bit', walks energetically but calmly, with even and determined steps, the hind feet touching the ground in front of the footprints of the fore feet. The rider maintains a light, soft and steady contact with the mouth, allowing the natural movement of the head and neck.
| | | 3.1. 中度慢步 是清楚、規律且不拘束,步幅中等長的慢步。馬保持 '受銜' 姿態,富有活力但要沈靜,運步均勻穩健,後蹄落在前蹄跡前方。騎手通過韁與馬嘴保持輕柔而且穩定的接觸,允許馬的頭與頸自然的移動。
|
| 3.2. Collected Walk. The horse, remaining 'on the bit', moves resolutely forward, with his neck raised and arched and showing a clear self carriage. The head approaches the vertical position, the light contact is maintained with the mouth. The hind legs are engaged with good hock action. The pace should remain marching and vigorous, the feet being placed in regular sequence. The steps cover less ground and are higher than at the medium walk, because all the joints bend more markedly. In order not to become hurried or irregular, the collected walk is shorter than the medium walk, although showing greater activity.
| | | 3.2. 縮短慢步 馬保持 '受銜' 姿態,果斷前進,頸部抬起而且弓彎,表現明顯出自我承載的姿態,馬頭接近垂直,嘴角與騎手的手保持輕微的接觸,後肢靠飛節的良好動作向馬體下深踏。步調富有前進氣勢,精力充沛,四蹄動作順序規律。因為所有的關節屈曲更明顯,所以步幅比中度慢步稍短且稍為抬高。為了避免變得性急和不規整,縮短慢步應比中度慢步的步幅短,但是要表現出更大的活力。
|
| 3.3. Extended Walk. The horse covers as much ground as possible, without haste and without losing the regularity of his steps, the hind feet touching the ground clearly in front of the foot prints of the forefeet. The rider allows the horse to stretch out his head and neck without losing contact with the mouth and control of the poll.
| | | 3.3. 伸長慢步 馬匹盡可能伸長步幅,但不失規律也不匆忙。後蹄明顯地落在前蹄跡的前方,騎手允許馬的頭和頸部向前伸,但不失去與馬嘴的接觸以及對項部的控制。
|
| 3.4. Free Walk. The free walk is a pace of relaxation in which the horse is allowed complete freedom to lower and stretch out the head and neck.
| | | 3.4. 自由慢步 自由慢步是一種放鬆的步伐,允許馬完全自由地低伸頭和頸部。 資料來源:馬術&馬
