The Scale of Compression

Description

Think of the spectrum of possible frames that a horse can be in, on an imaginary scale from 1 to 100, from fully compressed to fully extended. Let 1 be a horse that is so collected that it is on the spot (trotting or cantering in place), and 100 be the full out strech of a racehorse galloping at top speed. Where on this scale do you want your horse to be when jumping?
