It's very difficult to explain unless you're a horserider. What it really means is that the horse is totally attuned to the rider and that everything you do will have an effect on the entire horse, without any body parts (or parts of the brain) being blocked/unwilling/unable. In order to get into this state, the horse has to be totally relaxed, healthy, and trusting.

Maybe my best translation is 'responsiveness'

spirited
With patience and care, lippizaners are taught to be spirited and docile early on in their training.

I see. They want them to be "supple and obedient"...

flexibility / submission
Flexibility is another option for suppleness, but submission can also work I think.

- Has no resistance in the top line
- Willingly accepts the rider 's aids with a soft mouth
- Is able to move the neck, shoulders and hindquarters in both directions
- Is free from tightness in the muscles
- Is relaxed, yet engaged
- Is loose in the joints /able to move freely
- Has no resistance in the top line
- Willingly accepts the rider 's aids with a soft mouth
- Is able to move the neck, shoulders and hindquarters in both directions
Discussion
A relaxed and supple horse is free from resistance to your aids. His muscles and joints should be loose, without tension. The most important muscles to focus on are those found over his top line; running from the hind legs, over the quarters and loins to the front of the wither and up to the poll. https://www.naylors.com/blog/successful-schooling/
