LOCO = locomotion, FL-FV = foreleg front view, HL-SV = hind-leg side view, HL-RV = hind-leg rear view, DHQ = development of hind quarter, DL = development of loin, TW = thigh width, DIT = development of inner thigh, WOW = width of withers, WBW = width behind withers, CW = width of chest, CD = depth of chest, WH = height of withers, PL = length of pelvis, BL = length of back, HW = width at hips, BCS = body condition score, DOC = docility.

^aStandard error for the phenotypic correlations was 0.01. Standard errors for the genetic correlations varied between 0.01 and 0.13.
