Sunday Conformation Series #1: Your Confirmation Hit List

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.

Happy 18th B-day to me!!

   I am officially an adult ): I can legally buy liniment now. Since you have to be carded in Indiana for it now, dumb rednecks trying to get high off everything. I promise that I will update soon. Busy busy me 

Long time, no blogging

   I have been home the past week, but I have been trying to catch up at school because I missed the first week and half. I was on the East Coast learning a ton and waking up at 5am to do what I love.

 I really don't have a lot to say except those people are amazing. I was welcomed into their barn and home and was trusted riding some of their horses once in awhile. If you want to see all the pictures they are on my Facebook photography page. Now Super Kid and I are getting ready for Hagyard Midsouth team challenge, we are going to be on a team hopefully with a little pony named Picasso who is ADORABLE!! Super Kid and him will get cuteness points. Hopefully I will get back into the swing of blogging sometime soonv

Veggie!!!!! 

The huge announcement isssss

 Super Kid and I will be leaving for three weeks on Tuesday. I am going to be a working student with Dom and Jimmie Schramm, this is super exciting and totally last minute. This was all arranged in the last three and four days. I will be missing the first week of my senior year, but honestly what do you learn in the first week?? Anyway I really don't know how much I will be able to blog but hopefully. So here are some pictures from the lesson I had with him on Wednesday

First ever corner 

Novice height with flowers!!!

Pony Face likes to jump

Nice novice jump in my lesson with Dom Schramm

    I might have a HUGE announcement in the next few days involving me and ponyface going on a road trip. If you guess what it is I will make your pony treats and send them to you 

Stallions for ponyface

Should I ever decide to breed Super Kid here are the things I am looking for in a stallion

• MUST be over 15h and under 16.1h
• bigger bones than ponyface
• proven show record
• must have good jump
• not super hot but not exactly 110% calm

Things they can not be or 

• Have a history of melanoma in their family 
• Never shown
• mean tempered 

So if you have any idea's please comment. THIS IS NOT A SURE THING. I said if Super Kid gets hurt (not seriously please) and has to have a year or two off then this is an option. Someday I do want my own foal from her that I can see grow up and train and compete myself.
