I'm not hot on what a foal conformation is suppose to be? She is my first foal.... (maybe not the last!) you can be honest I can take it lol, nothing is perfect! :)

She's 2 weeks

The photo is probably misleading as it is in shadow, but keep an eye on the off fore foot, it looks boxy. My foal had a boxy front and had to have 2 weekly trims and physio for a good while. It did the trick and there is no evidence of unequal front feet now.

Pretty baby, congratulations.

She's by Grafenstolz out of my TB Acclamation mare. So lots of blood!

Thanks AdorableAlice I'll have a proper beady look at that foot

I always find it tough to assess conformation in foals (unless there's an obvious fault).

I look for long, shapely legs, a pretty head and general "presence." I think your foal ticks all the boxes. She looks absolutely lovely.
