What do you think of this mares conformation?
http://www.equinehits.com/horses-for-sale/horse-234853
I am considering buying this mare, and was wondering how her conformation is.
I know she could use more muscle tone here and there, but how s her actual bone structure?
Do you think she is capable of holing a more level top line under saddle?
I would be riding her in Western Pleasure, Horsemanship, maybe a little showmanship, lots of trail riding, and eventually some English ridding, on the flat. If I did decide to jump is would not ever be over 2 feet. Is she capable of doing this?
I know I asked this yesterday, but I did not get many good answers.
Thanks a lot!
The good:
Her legs look nice and straight. The point of hock looks to be right below her rear. She has a very pretty head and kind eyes. She has lovely coloring! (Not a conformation point, but still nice ^^ )
The not so good:
She has a bit of an ewe neck. Her forearm is longer than her cannon, giving her less stability and durability. Her chest barrel good be bigger, as she is she may not have quite the lung capacity, but for your purposes that may not matter. Her lower leg beneath her hocks looks to be too straight. It could be the ground, but she looks to be build a bit downhill.
None of these are huge deals and for what you want her for, they shouldn't matter. The only place they may hurt you would be the show ring, but for trail and horsemanship I'd say not.
