Haunches-in

As Travers (English haunches - in, French tête au mur ) is in horsemanship called a forward - sideward movement of the horse, in which bent the horse and goes into a shutdown of about 30 degrees on four Hufschlaglinien; the hindquarters is set to the path towards the interior, while the forehand on the hoof remains. The horse crosses while both the front and on rear legs ( see also half-pass ), and assuring a slight inward position. Travers can be ridden both on straight as well as curved lines. The counter- lesson to Travers is Renvers. From the motion ago Travers, Renvers and traversal are to be regarded as a lesson.

Travers and Renvers promote the industry and the momentum, because the horse with the hind legs must tread down more. There are also both be solved as well versammelnde lessons - all important criteria of the education scale. The hind legs are strengthened thereby, and the horse becomes increasingly aware of the Hilfengebung.

The " broader or narrower U-turn in a more or less pronounced Travers position " means " Passade ".
