Perfect ears so a good start!

Isn't there an old wives tale about the distance between a horse's eyes too?
Long ears are supposed to be indicative of an honest temperament too.

That shot would have already shown up a conformation flaw in my horse! (She's got a dent above her right eye.)

Erm....excellent ears ✔✔✔

Not conformation but bulging temporalis muscles can show tension in the jaw or incorrect chewing pattern. People think I’m daft for saying that, but my horses went from bulging to flat after I sorted out a few other issues with him. So you can tell a bit from a forehead shot!

Lovely ears! But BBP has a good point, first thing my dentist does is check all facial muscles for tension and being uneven/over muscled - nearly always throws up an issue with a tooth

My bridle/bit fitter did the same. It can also indicate issues with the bit.

I thought it was distance between the ears. My idiot cob has ears that are very close together - clearly no room for a brain!!!
