Can you imagine how many times we overlook mares becuase they look like that...
You got that right!
: She is in a few of my horse's pedigrees.
Although, obviously not having a huge impact on the breed; we have a mare which we've had a similar experience with.
She has a pretty head, very nice neck, nice chest, but her back's longer than I like...her legs just that
tiny bit shorter than I like... Just not
that proportionate a mare...to be honest. We had sold the three foals we'd had from her, and decided to sell her too. Well, in the last few years, her foals are on our circuit, and are such, long-legged, proportionate horses; and talk about huge-striding! I started kicking my butt...
hard!
: It does me proud when I hear people talking about her (our) foals, and saying that they are the "one's to beat".
Thankfully, just a couple of months ago, the Lady who bought her from me, decided she wanted my chestnut pinto filly, who is a perfect mate for her gelding.
NOW...we are both happy...again! :aktion033: :lol:
