Conformation Check (Mini Style)

EqUeStRiAn · 07-14-2005, 09:11 PM

Hes a little downhill. Quite a long back as well, but that should be fine considering hes not required to race barrels or jump high fences.. Hes also a little "boxy" in his pasterns, which could be contributing to some concussion in his fetlocks and knees. HIs croup is decent, although his hip looks like it drops (the line from his hip to below his tail )

Hes also fairly deep chested and shallow girthed, this could affect his endurace.. but its not like he has to go anywhere really fast (at least hopefully not!)

Other than a bit of a toed out appearace he is cery cute. Just right for little Loren

He's pretty cute, I think. Thanks for the info. I just didn't know if mini confo was the same as big horse confo.

The thing about crooked back legs are minis have them. It's just one of those flaws that came from trying to breed for a small horse. Though some are much worse then others.
