So just how important are they? Partly in reference to the 'grading/license' thread.
Now, to me they are extremely important, but only if the conformation adds up.
If I was buying a pleasure horse, I honestly dont think they would matter one jot.
Surely if you have a horse with sound conformation, trainable attitude and natural athleticism the rest can be made?
I know top horses in every walk of life have that extra special something, but I think it is unrealistic to suggest that daddy will pass it on to all, if any, of his offspring.
That is something which I think can be found anywhere.
