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.

She's cute. She doesn't really look 2 but maybe she's a slow grower. She's very butt high but again the growth factor. She seems to have decent bone and her eye looks sweet.

It is almost impossible to critique a 2 yo TB. I have had many and they grow differently than other breeds. At 2 they tend to be gawky, clumsy, narrow - their heads seem big and their ribs seem sprung. It is as if someone cut and pasted a horse together. I would say wait until she is 4 yo for a critique.

What I can see right now on the very basic set up of your horse is: good shoulder and pastern angles (comfortable ride) nice topline, but somewhat straight in the gaskin, nice head and ear set. I won't comment on the rest because it will likely change in the next 2 years.

I think you will have a pleasurable riding horse, good luck with her.

First off, she's a gorgeous girl. I love TBs so much. Especially two year old fillies! She's got a lovely face and eye. I like her heart girth, plenty of room for her heart and lungs. She's got straight legs from what I can see. Got a good pastern angle (a little slope to it, but I think that's a TB thing) overall. It is hard to critique TBs at this age though, so I hope that was enough of a critique for now. I'd love to see more of her as she grows; she's beautiful.
