Straight hocks.

To me this means the horse is post-legged.  This a conformation flaw.  Post 
legged horses are not be able to use their hind end underneath him very 
well.  Because the reach is not there.  The more angle to the hocks (to a 
certain extent) means the horse will use his hind end better, and stay 
sounder longer.
