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.

Awww nothing? I was really hoping someone would have something to say about my beautiful girl.

She looks like she would excel at dressage or jumping. She has a bit of a straight shoulder and steep croup, but has a nicely tied in neck. Her legs look good, but I cannot tell from the photo is she a bit tied in at the knee? She is a cutie pie! She is a bit hip high too but at 3 may still grow out of it. I do agree with the draft X.

She is darling. She does look like she has a straight shoulder, but other then that she looks fantastic.

She is SO, SO cute. She'd do really well in Hunter/Jumper shows down here in San Diego. She definitly looks like she'd make a nice little flat or hunter horse. I love her markings.

Is it just me or does she look like an over grown welsh mix? Lovely. I would rather judge her as that, she fits it perfectly imo.

You know, your guess that she's a Welsh mix is as good as mine! I bought her from a woman who knows nothing about horses but wanted to save one or two from the PMU trucks shipped from Alberta and she chose these two. She told me that the trucker told her they were all quarter horse mixes, but she could be anything really!
