conformation?

[madhector]

please could people tell me what they think of my mares conformation? would be really interested to hear comments, dont worry bout offending

sorry you will have to ignore the tack couldnt find a good one of her standing square without it on

For what it's worth, I think she is a nice sort. Everything is in proportion, and in the right place. She could do with building up her back end a bit and her topline could do with some work. She's a little upright through her hocks for my liking but on the whole pleasing on the eye

Well. I'm hopeless on comformation and miss loads of things.

But basically she looks a really nice type. I would like to see more muscle on her neck and bum but she looks like she has a nice chest and she is quite compact. She looks a little downhill to me but is it the photo? Toes possibly bit long ? Bit paranoid about this at the moment, so could be rubbish

!!

I really like her

. How old is she and what has she done?

 

[madhector]

still working on topline, when i got her she had none, toes do look a little long, hadnt really noticed before

 

[rema]

What a nice looking mare.That rump on her looks like she has a good jump on her!!.

 

[Tempi]

her hind pasterns to me look more upright than her front ones, and her hocks are a bit straight, shes also croup high by the looks of that picture. However shes a lovely sort and once shes got more topline she'l be a proper little stunner (not that shes not already!)

 

[Magicmillbrook]

Yes I agree she looks a little upright in the hocks, ideally you want a long line from point of hip to point of hock (I got Pippa Funnells young horse book for crimbo!). Feet look a bit odd, however I think its more to do with the picture being a bit tall and narrow. Front legs look nicely underneath. Not too fat , could do with a bit more muscle but in all very pretty and smart. I would love her.

I agree she is a little too upright behind, however everything looks in proportion. As said by others she needs a bit of developing.

My mares conformation isn't very good she is upright behind, has tilted pelvis and a bit bum high but when she is working properly you would never know

Well I like her!! Carbon copy of our Fred but WITH some topline (ie yours has, ours hasnt!!), and the rumpy bum too!! I love em!

 

[madhector]

thanks everyone, she has a wicked jump in her, took some getting used to

 

[Vicki1986]

just out of interest do you have the same farrier as the other horse in the background?? feet look very similar x
on the conf i agree with pariessene girl a little bum high (as is my mare!!) and needs some topline but a lovley sort looks a good jumper from your avator pic x

 

[madhector]

yep both mine, both have same farrier

 

[Vicki1986]

Just was thinking the others toes look a little long too thats all

my ponies feet are a little boxy so im used to them being quite upright! x

 

[madhector]

the other one has awful flat feet in front and his hinds arnt too great either, her front feet arnt quite a pair, think one is more boxy, both due to be shod next week so will be having words with my farrier
