It is very common, in fact more the norm to have the very wide, deep chested quarter horse stallions standing at stud. Americans seem to go for decent build and it looks like it works, after all you can't beat a true American QH.

With Sir Cool Skip at the forefront of our breeding program, an amazing stallion who has made a definite contribution to better the breed, we shall continue to raise beautiful, athletic, balanced individuals with great spirit and minds and the qualities needed to win.
omg!! that is cruel to make a horse look like that. I looks like it cant move its neck! It would crush any mare it mounted!!!!:O
It is repulsive!!!!!!!!!!!
With Skipper W and Impressive in it's pedigree, that's exactly as I would expect it to look. I don't find halter QH's nice to look at in the slightest - but they make a packet of money so perhaps it's me raising working-cattle-stock bred QH's who is the mug eh?
It's mostly down to the breeding. They breed so that they have a lot of muscle. Impressive kicked off the whole thing really. [quote/]
Awwww right!!wouldnt the muscles need tonning or would they just stay like that anyway??
Sorry i am sooo stupid!!
Think of it as their body type (Like a cob's, or a TB's). They're genetically predisposed to have more muscle than the avarage horse. A lot of them also have navicular because they have a lot of body weight on small feet. I'm not sure how much work the average halter horse gets.
strange that people desire to have a horse that looks like that i quite honestly dont see the appeal at all! and as for that belgian blue thats just a freak of nature TBH!
