This is an idea that Cob Jockey developed
and I thought it was a good idea.
I am weird when it comes to conformation. Personally I think that all
the really good eventers right now have funky conformation and I don't like it.
I personally don't like a personal show horse to be over 15.3h. I'm a shorter
person at 5'5, I can't ride a large horse very well. If they are over 15.3 then
they have to be special for me to like them
Conformation Ideal (for me)
I am not just saying this but my horse has about the most
ideal conformation ever. Besides the fact that her legs are a little on the
skinny side
Super Kid 15h
Holstiner\Lipizzan x Welsh cob
She has pony legs,
and I love it. She is 13 now and so far hasn't shown any signs of arthritis.
Horse conformation that I like
Schramm Equestrian Cold Harbor
This horse is built UPPPHILLLLLL, its awesome. He will never
have a problem rocking back on his hind and pushing. Which is why he is a
awesome 2* horse. He is about 17h something (when I was working there I needed
a bucket to clean his back and but on his tack). You can't see in this picture
but his hind end is built like a horse that can jump. Its under him, he can
launch off the ground.
Horse #2
7 yr old TB 16.3h.
He's a cutie, but I wouldn't keep him as a competition
horse, maybe a good project. One thing that I see right now is that he is
downhill slightly, but most TB's are to be honest. You can see in the picture
below that he doesn't push off his hind end. You can tell this by seeing if the
front foot hits before the opposite back.
Horse # 3
Rhymes dam's sire Limerick.
He is or was a dutch warmblood stallion. He has some of the key things I like
in a eventer, big bones,strong hind, etc. He was sadly never shown or even
jumped so we will never know how he is with that, only can guess based on his
offspring.
