I know conformation is everything BUT there's no such thing as a perfect horse and not sure if anyone is brave enough to share...
I was wanting to see some examples of minis that look good in health but have just slight conformation issues that are not badly deformed but not to the point where you would pass them up if you liked them. We always show examples of bad conformation flaws BUT dose anyone have pics of minis that have flaws but not extreame?
Examples:
little bit bigger head
unlevel backs
slight bites off
cow hocked
long faced
hoofs that are to the side or clubbed
I peronally have a fat little guy in the back yard who has a rear hoof that folds in and has a little bit larger head then I like BUT at least it is short and dishy and hes so super cute.
I also have a show mare who is club footed but when I trim her feet, I only knock the heal off and you cant even tell. I also personally think her face is a little long BUT it goes with her long neck and I would'nt trade her for the world. Her daughter, 09 foal, I think has a super small squshed back, but when shes show clipped, she looks totally 110% conformationally correct and everything looks good as long as she dont have her winter fuzzys to me LOL.
How about you? You brave enough to share?
