Read the title "Near perfect" ;)
These are all stallions with a near perfect or perfect comformation. Sloping shoulder, long legs, back not too long or not too short, good shoulder-neck transition, good jaw's. In my eyes, thats near perfection.
 
LOVE upgrade! hes realy smart, anyone find any horses with really good conformation that arent stallions? one of you own maybe? and if its not quite perfect then could you point out its 'imperfections' to me? Thanks :)
 
What about this one? I know she's facing the camera but best I can find.

She's just about to lift off with that right hind by the way tho it looks a bit weird!
 
All lovely, all in very good proportions and all seems to be very well put together. (where's me blimmin' lottery ticket...)

There is no 'perfect', just what is considered as perfect as can be for horse and breed and biomechanic purposes i.e weight distribution...

For your standards maybe, then no. But for the Zangersheide, KWPN and Oldenburg studbook they are approved stallions. The KWPN are very strict in their requirements. I don't know about the Zangersheide and Oldenburg.

And who says their all dressage? Just because I've got dressage in my membername doesn't mean I have no clue how jumping, eventing etc. works and the desired conformation.
 
Quite KatB. I do believe you are right but any horse can do dressage and any horse could race... (got shetland racing in mind here... :D)

Your beasts are stunning for the record and would jump very nicely!!!!!! (and other stuff, it all starts with a good confo)

Anyway, if you have any spare, I've got loads of room........................ :D:D:D:D:D:D
 
This is my own broodmare:

She is way out of perfection, these are the imperfections:
-Short frontlegs
-Heavy on the forehand
-Not built uphill
-heavy shoulder-neck transition
-Big shoulders
-Jaw to big
-Back too long
-Shoulder too upright

She doesn't always look so digusting and ugly. :D

Totally agree- they all have nice frames but there are several whose limbs would make me steer well clear.

It totally depends on what you want in a horse I suppose
 
Is it just me, but a lot of the horses on page 1 of this post look much higher at the wither than at the bum? Also a bit herring gutted (Could of course be the bottle of wine I shared at lunchtime :D )

Handsome though they are I do prefer a good TB riding horse or hunter type

Oh yes, lets also add into equation personal preference... :D
 
The stallions are very much bred for the job & confo is rather a relative thing. I would want a horse with more hunter type conformation, ie good length of rein, deep girth, flat bone, short cannons, fine head, sloping shoulder, great limbs. I want a horse which is comfortable, and could do any job though which is what dictates my preferences. There are only a couple of those which I would say have great confo.

Many HIS stallions fulfilled this criteria. Which is probs why so many of them & their offspring stayed sound for so long.

Roviris is a case in point:
