How to Critique Horses - read this if you want to comment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the rules about how to critique horses in the conformation clinic. Please check back here as this forum progresses since we will be making updates as we go along.

1. Be honest but friendly.
All horses have flaws -- you can certainly point them out. BUT, do not say things in a way that could be construed as rude or overly negative.
Keep all comments focused on the horse. Do not say anything critical about the owner.

2. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Just like how all horses have flaws, they all have good points. If you have something negative to say, be sure to also include a positive comment.
Keep things friendly -- give your comments the way you would if a good friend asked you for your opinion.

3. If you don't have anything conformation-related to say, please PM the horse's owner instead of replying in here.
People posting in this area are looking for conformation-related responses. Even if you're not well versed in conformation, please don't be shy about trying to critique the horse or ask questions about his/her conformation. But, since this is the conformation clinic, please make sure your response does pertain to conformation! Comments such as "he sure is pretty!" should be made via PM if you aren't also commenting on the horse's conformation.

4. People WILL say things you disagree with.
Keep your comments focused on your own ideas, and not reactions to other people's posts.
If you think you'll be bothered by seeing comments that you think are "wrong" - then don't visit this forum!!!
It is not your job to convince everyone that your opinion is correct. Say what you believe and let others come to their own conclusions.

If people have trouble following these rules, we will make critiquing by invitation only.

I'm not an expert on conformation, but a few things strike me, and I may be off, but here's just a couple observations...
First, I think she has a very pretty, feminine face..Refined and dainty, with a gentle eye.
She seems to have a good shoulder angle and nice chest. Her hip seems strong and her butt has some promise of filling out more, though it looks pretty nice and muscular for a 3 year old to me.
Looks as if she'll be very muscular, yet still feminine...
I really like her...

This filly certain looks her cow breeding. Short compact on the body, with good shoulder, back and a nice hip. Deep heartgirth with a nice underline. Neck shorter and compact with a classic filly head. Nice soft eyes, attentive ears. It does appear she is slightly behind in the knee, but not alot.

I am however hoping it is her age and that she will grow some legs both in bone and length. I find her extremely short, even for her breeding, in her cannons more specifically her fronts. She is slightly behind the hoof and I would keep a close watch on her thick fetlock joints and the thickening to the ligiments and tendons in all of her legs. She does appear straight both front an rear.

I also noticed the sizeable divot to her right stifle area, and from the rear noticed smaller hip muscling to that side as well, did she have a prior injury that you know of?

All in all, not a bad looking girl, should do well for her breeding.
