If You Were A Horse, What Conformation Faults Would You Have?

apple bum, hay belly, under-developed chest, coarse head, excess facial hair but generally pretty tough and hardy for my age. I'd be one of the larger native breeds I think. Could do with being muzzled as I can't stop dipping into the giant box of thorntons Santa brought! :D
 
Overly deep in the girth - but with plenty of heart room ;)

Torn ligaments in my left fetlock so gentle hacking only until vet approves faster work (but may never come completely sound)

Clicky left hip from silly fall galloping with a Shetland (long story - mis-spent youth) - may well lead to arthritis later and can be stiff in poor weather.

Needs substantial fittening regime but overall a well put together, albeit substantial, mare. :D :D
 
I'd definitely have been PTS years ago- too many broken bones!

I'd have been a cob though, not sure about the face like a lady's maid but I've got the a**e like a cook, good-doer, only got two speeds- won't go and won't stop, and very one-sided due to old injuries. Luckily when bred to something with a bit of class, produced very fine offspring, so maybe I'm saved from the knackers for a bit!
 
I suffer from shin splints so I would definitely have splints and my ankles ache if I have been running or walking on uneven ground so I would imagine that I would spend most of my time lame.

I would probably be a Thoroughbred or an Arab as I am slim and can sprint very fast. I also would probably wind suck as I suffer from heartburn.
 
i wouldnt have any - i'd be perfect!

as i am currently wearing a knee support, i would have to say, I would suffer from intermittent lameness (due to doing something daft like galloping round a frozen field). I'd be a short stocky type, short backed, probably kissing spine or something else similar... bad feet, mareish tendencies, fussy eater, i could go on...

I would be an athletic little pony though, slightly hot headed, loves to run and jump when wound up but with a tendency to get fat and lazy! HAHA :) someone would love me, but i would be a wild and woolly type!
 
I would be ready for the knacker man!! ha ha ( i wound never send any of my horses to the knacker man by the way)

If someone would keep me i would have kissing spine or something along the lines of that and bad joints!!
 
7/10ths sound ;)

Oh and at the moment I'm building muscle on the top half, whilst letting the leg go to wastage - so probably would be very on the forehand :o

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!

Me too. Are there hypermobile horses? I don't think I'd buy me. Nice, honest eye though :p

My nails are on the side too, I can have a operation to straighten it but I would have to learn to walk and more importantly ride again, so its not really worth it.

Sorry for creeping everybodly out

Yeah I was offered that too. I'm so use to them now, having straight 'normal' feet would be weird.

Yes sorry everyone!
 
*warning, put down food and stop eating!*

The toe next to my little toe on my left foot is smaller than my little toe (by quite a bit). X rays show that the toe is correct, I just have "mini bones". Its awful and I never get my feet out in public!!! Even on holiday, I hide my toes under a bit of towel when I am sunbathing!!! Apparently nothing they can do apart from remove the toe and I am not sure what is worse. Either way, I would still hate my foot!

My right foot is perfectly normal!

If I was a horse, I would probably have to be shot! :eek:
 
Hahahaha!! Loving it!! I wouldn't buy any of you lot!!!

I bite my nails so i'd have to have bad feet and terrible knees seeing as I have rheumatism in them and a shocking back, since I have vertabrae that have a mind of their own and move at random :rolleyes:
