Horse conformation quiz v.3!?

Last time I answered a conformation question here, I noticed many other people giving wrong answers about the horse's hocks. Many people said "sickle hocked" when the horse was obviously not sickle hocked. SO here's your chance to practice! Here are three horses, horse A, horse B and horse C:

Which horse has sickle hocks?

Which horse has post hocks?

Which horse has correct hocks?

Bonus questions:

Which horse is "camped out" behind?

Which horse's back is the longest?

Which horse is most "downhill"?

Which horse is the best "type" for English classes, despite his flaws?

Which horse would be a great gaming horse because of his compact frame and over-all decent-to-good conformation?

Here are the correct answers, but don't peek until YOU'VE answered!

    As a prostpect, there is not fairly whatever approximately Hailey's *advert* that suggests capabilities. Unfortunatly, pix are deciving. Just watching on the pix, Cat appears like she could be an excessively high-quality prospect. However, I additionally watched the utube video and he or she does not seem sound in any respect. It's such a lot obvious whilst she first begins trotting (observe the quick asymmetric step and mild head-bob) She does look to see of it via the top of the video, however I could move her off your record. What precisely are you watching for in a horse? It feels like you're now not an skilled rider and in my view you will have to be watching for a horse that matches your present talents (Green horses and inexperienced riders hardly ever combine good)

    Yay! I got them all right so apparently the conformation classes and lessons have paid off. Also it probably helps that I'm used to appraising auction horses conformation. Fun thing though, thanks for posting it
