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 like this boy. He has a nice neck that ties into a good shoulder. Nice clean legs and a nicely muscled butt. His back is a bit longer than ideal, but not too bad.

I like him. The neck ties in well with the back. I like a longer bodied horse, and conformation wise, looks to be same length as the neck. So.... perfect to me. I love the chest, and he has nice straight legs.

Strictly speaking, his neck is just a little shorter than ideal, and the hip is a little short as well.

Would I buy him? Yes

He has a beautiful face and looks like a good boy I like his color and his legs look pretty good too.

Now I'm drooling on the screen. Thanks Ging.. He has a great everything. Especially with breeding considered. His not meant to be a halter horse, nor will he ever be. But he's built as good as any cow horse, ranch horse I've evre seen. Love his head, neck, rump, even his color. I've liked him since the fist pic I saw of him. He's a keeper.

Thanks HighHorse....he sure is somethin special...and the more we ride together the more I love him ......a few nights a go ....a gigantic rottweiler came running out of a driveway on a road we were riding on. I was panicking the dog had teeth baring and fur standing...I was expecting something severe to happen. Tucker turned and faced the dog.....put his ears FLAT on his head and charged at the dog. Tucker would have trampled to dog if he would have continued running at us.....Tucker was so brave...the dog went running in the other direction.....Tucker turned around and kept walking the trail like nothing had happend.

Personally, I can't find a darn thing wrong with him! If he comes up missing one night... don't look at my place!

He is a very nice nice built cow horse. Do you head off him or do you heel?. He has a very strong shoulder, very nice clean front legs with strong bone. He could either head or heel with out issue. He has a decent hip and really nice confo. His neck seems to be in proportion and he has a beautiful head. He seems to have nice wide hooves that match the strength in his legs and should hold up very nicely to the disciplines you work him on. Overall he is a very very well built horse, and beautiful and should excel in what ever you choose to do with him. I love a horse built like him.
