Basically just for fun ;) So as much as everyone would evidently would have perfect conformation as a horse :rolleyes: What issues would you have?

For me;

- I have bowed legs, my left is worse then right, and I have special insoles in my shoes that push my feet and knees back out, if I don't wear them then I can only walk for 10 minutes, with being in a lot of pain :rolleyes:

- I'm quite right-sided. I lean to right then I sit down or stand still for a long time. It's been much worse since I fell off and hurt my back in 2009

- I have horrible feet, they are awful. It's a nightmare trying to find shoes that fit, I have a high arch, narrow heel but where my toes are is really wide. I cannot wear slip on shoes because they don't stay on my feet and walking in high heels cripples me!

So over to you...

[ps: yes I know this is a really random idea for a thread, but what the hell ;)}
 
I would have 'kissing spines' although it is possible i could be rehabilitated as i have had surgery. I have a seriously crook right leg after being hit by a car, which is also badly scared so guess i wouldn't show. Possibly dish a bit and would be rather 'on the forehand' due to my large chest. Guess I could be a reasonable companion but due to my age a few on here would suggest another alternative!!
Luckily my OH thinks I still have a few uses, so if someone could work out a diet for condition score of 4.5 i would be very grateful.
 
Too deep in the girth
An apple shaped bum
Arthritic knees
Twisted pelvis
Pigeon toed
Parrot mouth

I'm incredibly short waisted so I guess I'd be an Arab! Albeit a very overweight one :p

I'd be sent to the meat man for sure :(:D
 
I wouldn't! I'd have been PTS a long time ago....lost cause me! (currently in a leg brace suffering from a broken knee!)
 
I have flat feet and have to wear insoles as well so what would that be, long pasterns?
I also have "kissing spines" and Im also hypermobile so would require regular phsiotherapy but would be quite agile with my strechy ligaments :p. Ohh and an accident left me with dodgey knees, a broken back and wonkey legs but apart from that im as sound as a pound! Think I would make a good companion/light hack but prefer being worked!
 
Bad knees. Kissing Spine, Blind in one eye and slightly cow hocked.
I always thought myself to be more of an Arab type based on according to my lovely mother, I'm rancidly skinny. So, maybe an Akhel-Teke? :p
 
Lord I'd be pretty useless as a horse! I have arthritis in the small bones of my hands, wrists and feet.. It doesn't affect me too much as a human and I'm sound ;) but I don't think arthritis in all 4 feet of a horse would not be much good!
Apart from that confo wouldn't be too horrendous.
 
Well i wouldn,t pass a vetting, too long in the back,not enough bone,weak back end,not great in the wind,probably need to be on bute forever and one step away from the knackers, but on a good day i might do ok in a veteran class
 
I'd be a very very good doer....strip grazing and a muzzle all year round for me :(

Not too many major conformation faults but I'd probably be a Suffolk Punch :o
 
I'd have legs too long for my body, a poor shoulder, weak left hip, scarred right patella and re-occurring but mild lameness in the left hind and a parrot mouth. None of which effects me really at this age but roll on 50!!

high ringbone, doubtful tendons and a really shitty temper. As a broodmare I would be an absolute disaster....Im sterile! Potters, here I come.
 
I would probably be PTS tbh :( :p

I have awful feet which has affected the whole muscle going up my legs I would be permanently lame if a horse or buted up to my eye balls. I also have awful hip problems, they stiffen up all the time from when I was a baby.

My left side is a lot weaker then my right, I'm also grumpy and lazy. No one in their right mind would want a horse like me :p

ETS: I'd also be a very bad doer and very little in height like a section A or something :p

I'd be a good doer, and always on a diet :p

My ankles (fetlocks) are crap, and ligaments damaged, so probably not great for anything :p

Other than that, not bad at all :p
 
I'd have a wonky pelvis, be really stiff on the left rein, permanently 1/10th lame due to dodgy knee and shoulder but I would make a good jumper with powerful bum and thighs (hidden somewhere underneath all the fat) and short coupled back!
 
Ex broodmare = belly
Should ALWAYS be in the starvation patch
Lame on off hind due to knee injury
Side bone, near fore!
Flat feet, prone to lose shoes then get sore feet.
Eye problems - needs surgery
Big bum, on the forehand and have short front 'legs'.
Previous lami - often seen laying down.

Conclusion - for everyones interest needs to be PTS before does further injury to the NHS, should never be for sale and should never breed again!
Gawd help me!! lol
