    how about you show …
    how about you show people what to look for instead of just talking about it? Straight shoulder? back at the knee? sickle hocks? You didn’t mention how to tell the slope of shoulder of whether your horse is post legged, or anything that may be useful to someone who thinks their ewe necked and toed out mare should be popping out babies.

    that horse has too long of a back, which means the slope of the shoulder is off. balance is the main thing, and that shoulder is most important

    Useful… I want …
    Useful… I want more. I have found very little out there to check into conformation. Can you make another one with more leg, feet, and other major points. I ride Polish arabian, though the barn I work at they are not what people picture as an arabian. These guys are built for competive performace. I notice majr flaws, but need some fine tuning. Great info Vid…thx
