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.

He has the look of a barrel horse. I'd say if he's got speed and enjoys doing barrels to go for it.

His rump looks a bit pointy but he has a cute face and a kind eye. I like him a lot. Good topline. And a short back the he gets from the arab in him. His legs look clean and he has a nice overall look about him.

It doesn't look like he got many, if any, Arab traits. He looks like a good using horse. He looks so much like my husband's QH mare it's scary. She's really a grade mare and looks a little mustangish. Back in her day she was very fast. Is your boy fast? He looks very quiet and laid back too; has a nice soft eye.

He looks weak through the loin but he looks like a very sturdy horse. He's no halter horse by any means but looks strong and sturdy.

Since your onto Arabs, you probably know better than I do. I'm an Appaloosa fanatic.

But I still think he has a few Arab traits.

All comments need to be conformation related or they will be removed.. If you would like to say something other than about Conformation please do so by sending PM's. Thanks

He looks to be nice and sturdy built. He should get some endurance from the arab side, and if he likes to run your 1/2 the way there!

He looks like a sturdy, little guy. nice legs and short barrel would be great for those turns. He has a kind eye,
Have fun,

He's got a beautiful set of legs on him thats for sure, I like his neck to shoulder attachment, it flows, and is pleasing to look at.
Beautiful horse.
