Why does a horse risk 'forging' (heel-toe interference) when lacking sufficient impulsion during dressage?

💡 Explanation

Forging occurs when the hind foot strikes the forefoot because insufficient impulsion causes a delayed protraction of the hindlimb. The horse doesn't fully engage its hindquarters, therefore the hind foot lingers longer in its swing phase, rather than achieving a prompt forward motion.
