Well I went to work the other day but it was rainy and icky, so I spent the day grooming and making some horses all beautiful. Then I took a rare non-rainy moment for each horse to get a good conformation-type photo, since I really don't have any like that of them. And here they will appear, of course. I was thinking of taking these photos and drawing the lines on them to study their conformations- you know, to measure the length of the hindquarters, to see if they're too uphill, downhill, the length of underline vs. topline.... I just haven't gotten to that yet. But these would be good pictures to practice that. Ha, I'm such a dork :)
Here is Cheyenne! She is in a fairly nice sporthorse pose I think, haha. She stretched her neck out and everything. I actually like her conformation quite a bit. She has a nice big butt.
This is Troy, who I really don't ride anymore. I worked him last year. I would be curious to tear his conformation apart because I always thought he was kind of rough to ride. Just glancing at him right now, it looks like his back feet are sort of upright and his legs are pretty straight. Possible answer.
Here is Baily, she is part Clydesdale. I don't ride her a whole lot, but when I did last week she was pretty fun. Glancing at her she looks like she has a very steep croup (is that a bad thing?) but mostly it looks to me like she has a small butt for how long her body is.
Last but not least is the Beary monster! The picture might be a little tweaked because I accidently changed dimensions of the box.... But I actually love how she is built. She's pretty dang thick through the neck, but she's thick everywhere. I think she has such a cute pony frame. Very stocky. Nice big butt. Straight legs. Kinda short neck but thats fine. But I'm biased :)
