Hypothetical musings, but there is a local show and I was wondering if I might sponsor a foreign breeds class, but how would it be judged, how can you separate a quarter horse from a spanish horse, an icelandic from a crillo or a Morgan.
Is it
a. the "best horse" in the eyes of say, an English hunter judge, which would mean conformation and paces
b. the best example of the breed in front of you, but that would require some knowledge of the breed standard, or
c. the horse you like best, but that might not be a good example of that breed. You might love the multi-coloured mane of the Fijord which is presented beautifully, but the Spanish horse might have better conformation and the Morgan might have the most spectacular paces and way of going.
Suggestions please.
