...de la Guérinière who invented the shoulder-in, and in his Ecole de Cavalerie he describes this exercise and gives exact diagrams of the hoofprints of the horse. According to these diagrams the shoulder must be taken in to such degree that the inside fore and hind legs step over and in front of those of the outside, thus describing four tracks. (...) This is the method to wich the Spanish Riding School remains faithful. Nowadays there are different opinions as to the degree of the angle which the horse forms to the wall in the shoulder-in. In opposition to de la Guérinière's theory it is maintaines that the forehand should be taken in to such a degree that the inside hind leg follows exactly in the track of the outside foreleg, thus making a single track, so that three instead of four hoofprints appear. This interpretation generally leads to a sort of outline of a shoulder-in, and the inside foreleg does not cross sufficiontly over the outside one. In this case the purpose of the exercise-the bending of the three joints of the hind legs, the freer movement of the shoulders, the improvement of the contact with the bit, and the increase of suppleness and obedience-will not be achieved.

Officieel is mijn inziens volgens de FEI en niet volgens de bedenker... Het zaait mi alleen maar verwarring om dit te vermelden.

Als dat idee van die bedenker ergens is vastgelegd (een soort van patent ) anders is zoals aangegeven door de FEI, KNHS en Orun de officiële manier.
