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.

First off- awesome color! He is very eye catching that is for sure.

He seems to be calm, just has that look about him. I could stand to see his ears a little smaller but then Im a huge fan of the tiny little fox ears.

The main thing Id like to see is better muscle definition, a heavier hip, a cleaner throat latch and a slightly longer neck. Thats about all I can nit pick out of him.

Looks like a swell guy and I just adore his coloring.

Wow, you're tough (newhorsemom)

I originally bought him to use for breeding purposes, I have one foal out of him right now. But now I have decided to sell him for financial reasons.

He is a little goose rumped and is parked out in back. Perhaps on harder ground it would be easier to tell if it is the photos or him. His shoulder is upright which gives more jarring gaits, but his pastern angle and shoulder angle match up well which is good. His color is nice and he overall looks like a sweet pleasant sort of gentleman.

Overall, I'd say he looks like a friendly trail buddy and I bet with some muscling up and shining up, he'd be show quality, but I don't know that I would want babies from him. It's easier for me to be very judgemental about a stallion rather than a gelding or mare. Do I see flaws that could be passed down that are just unacceptable to me etc...

Sucks that you have to sell him, though. He'd probably sell better as a gelding too.

Do you think he'd ever make a kids horse someday or is he just too much of a "hoss" (

) for that? He's so flashy I bet he'd make a great Western show horse.

I would like to remind everyone to please read the rules. All comments in the conformation area need to be about conformation only. If you have stuff that you would like to discuss please do so by PM's or opening a different thread. Thanks
