I found some of Gracie when she was four(she's now five),and i was just wondering what you thought.

I think she is very pretty.

Ashleyn · 01-28-2008, 08:56 PM

she looks pretty well put together i think. bit long back though

Very cute!! She look's a like her pastern's are a little bit more upright than i would like,and her shoulder's seem a tad upright as well,but i think it's just the angle of the photo.She seem's pretty well put together,all around.
Adorable horse!!

I know nothing about confirmation (sadly), but she's absolutely adorable. =)

overall very nice. pasterns are a tad long and a bit rump high but perhaps thats sorted itself out by now. like the way her neck ties in and her muscle tone is pretty good. i actually think her back is just about right, not too long/short. nice mare

She is very pretty, I'm not that great at conofmration but she looks slightly downhill, I'm not sure if its from the pictures or what. But overall she looks like she has good conformation

She's really very nice, she is sicklehocked but not too bad.
I actually very much like her pasterns, I cant stand overly short pasterns as is the fashion in stock horse circles these days, its an awful flaw.
She is a bit bum high but that could have evened off since she was only a baby in the pics, and it is also exaggerated in appearance by the fact that she is quite flat withered.
Personally I would like to see a bit more slope on a shoulder but there is nothing "wrong" as such with her shoulder, it just lends itself to other disciplines than jumping and gaming.

You really do have a very nicely put together mare, I'm having to be very picky to find fault with her.
