2yr BS Paint filly

aBreeze · 07-20-2005, 10:04 PM

This is a friends filly... out of their foundation Paint stud and a QH mare. She will be a game/barrel horse when the time comes. As of now shes very lightly started under saddle. I just wanted a critique of her conformation...

Side... sorry about her co*cked leg... she wasnt exactly cooperating.

Behind

Being a brat towards Uncle Topper

Dad's in the middle... sorry about the angle, its all I have.

I can't really tell her confo from the those pics.....what I can tell is that she is a little cow hocked, BUT that's good if you want her to be a barrel horse. I will pick a horse that's a bit cow hocked over one that is perfectly straight

She's got a lil belly on her, but we're all giulty of that one time or another.

She doubt she will be running 16 sec barrel patterns, but she can most likely do well in barrels. To me, she is built a little short for my liking...I like the legs to be built a little longer. To be a great barrel horse, they need to have a HUGE stride on them. They need to be short backed, but have a long bottom-line (barrel).

Overall she looks good, and good luck
