Conformation Clinic! How much do you know? Friesian Sport Horse Critique?

She's not well put together at all.

She's downhill, goose rumped, short backed, her hind cannons don't sit under her properly, leaving her kind of camped under, and the bottom of her neck appears as long or longer than the top of her neck. She needs a lot more muscle on her haunches and topline.

Idk what everyone on the forum is flipping out about, she looks ridiculously ugly to me.

Either the top picture is deceiving & poorly taken, or she's just that bad.

Wow, Those blue eyes sure a pretty! Definitely reverse jockey! He could be a really nice horse! Maybe he should be registered in the NBA instead of the NDBHA. I think you could get some good money for him if he was. Not so good conformation.. He looks like he's... Upside down... I think is the work I'm looking for..? You could still get some good money for him. Probably at least $12,500 minimum. You won't have a problem finding him a home! Hope this helps! =) -Fresh Paint- P.s. Anne, It is april fool's day.. Don't you have a calendar??? Get one. Oh and Peanut Palomino, Nice joke! LOVE IT!!!!! =D EDIT~ Oh my gosh! Yay! More like him! =D Can't wait! And 42 and 1/2 mares is a lot! The 1/2 makes it! =D

Im learning how to confo critique so I will try for fun! I dont know all the 'terms' of the horses body so I may just describe it!

This horse looks like he had a nice stallion fresien dad, and then a backyard morgan mare with lots of confo faults...

She has a really high croup, then slants down Alot down to her tail.

Very downhill built- poor topling.

HUGE shoulder- unproportional from her barrel and haunches

In my opinion that is one sorry looking horse!! I would not take her if she were given to me! No matter what breed a horse is or would be that is bad conformation. Ewe neck, low back, dropped hip, and slightly cycle hocked.

I hope if you are planning getting a horse you would select one that has correct conformation no matter what breed it is.

I would take a good conformation grade horse hands down over a getting a sorry looking registered horse of any breed.

I see many confirmational faults here the most obvious is the neck/back proportion. The long back, wither, and goose rump are traits from the Morgan but the lowset tail, disproportionate back legs, and short neck do not make it an attractive picture. She could also obviously do with some exercise and muscle definition on her topline and through her barrel and hip.

In my opinion her best traits are her strong deepset chest, strong front legs, large barrel, and nice head. She seems to have an intelligent eye that is well set in her face.

I personally prefer a husky baroque horse but if I was judging on appearance alone I'd pass on this mare. She'd have to have an outstanding personality, was well trained, and was very sure footed for pleasure riding and trails for me to even consider it. I also would NOT use her for breeding.

I can not believe the comments on that page about this horse. That poor thing looks like some gnarly qh/ mustang/Percheron experiment gone wrong. I agree with RT EWWW!!!!

and then the rescue has the nerve to say the owner was more concerned about her getting a good home rather than the price tag on her. that horse is worth more for the meat on her bones than she is for a riding/driving horse of any discipline.

Stupid people will pay anything for even a PART freisian, or "gypsy vanner" (colored cob nothing more nothing less) total idiots. sorry for the rant but it irks me when people are so stupid to pay for a horse based on a name (breed) rather than the purpose they want it for. then those same idiots come on here because they cant figure out how to get their pos horse to do something it isnt damnwell built for.

I am not good with conformation at all but I'll try. I think she's is very beautiful. She may not have the best confo in the world, but I still think she's pretty. What I see.......

She does have a goose rump, shortish back, from just glancing at the photo it looks like she has a massive chest,(Thats not my confo saying I am just saying from what it looks like from first glance). All I see is this MASSIVE looking body on this tiny neck and head. She's does not have the best confo but I think she's still beautiful.

I know little to nothing about conformation... but what the hell is that? Down hill, awkward shoulder, interesting hind end, just... yuck.

As RT succinctly put... "ew" explains everything. There is no balance... there is no beauty. That is a breeding that I hope never truly happened and is merely a poorly photoshopped picture...

Oh. my. god.

I think everyone says she's "beautiful" because she has a nice coat and color.

Short short neck with short back, wayyy downhill. her neck doesn't blend nicely with her body. camped under and her barrel looks so unproportioned t

Ew.

By the way why is it called a "sport horse"? This thing just looks completely worthless. God people suck at breeding.
