The hocks are the most common compensation for hind end problems.  

But they’re not the most common cause.  That award goes to the pelvic symphysis.

It is responsible for lots of issues.  A short list is:

• Bunny hopping
• Tripping behind
• Cross canter
• Counter canter
• Not holding leads
• Swapping leads
• Difficulty with flying changes
• And more
