l asked this awhile ago but my pics were not good l only have one here but l think it should work, l just wanna know whats good and bad about her conformation really and what discipline would work best for her. l was once told that her neck is to big so being on the bit is hard for her cuz she cant breath do u think so? l do not know like anything about conformation so please be informative. Thanx

Shes a registered Quarter Horse

But l do believe she Appendix
And Thanx l think shes beautiful

Well, what breed is she? Knowing that would really help people in determining if her confy is desirable for the breed.

First of all u have a very pretty mare that u should be proud of. Now, down to the question.she has good slope to her shoulder (probably a little straight for some, but l think its plenty), a nice top line to her neck, she is a little thick at the base of her neck meaning she ties in a little low, but all this is going to mean is that she is going to carry her head lower easier. Her back is a little long for my tasted (but that is just my opinion) but she her bottom line to her back matches well. l would like to see her have a little more weight overall but especially in her hindquarters. You can accomplish this by backing her for about 60 ft a day. You do not provide pictures to display her legs, so that is out except that she appears in this picture to be a little over at the knee. It may just be the direction the picture is taken from though. Good slope & size to the pasterns though. She has nice markings & a full length tail which r really nice to see. l would prefer to see her in hunter under saddle & low fence classes.

As for the bit comment, ignore it. Yes she ties in a little low giving the impression she has a thick neck, but it has its own advantages. As long as u do not ask her to carry her head like a peanut roller (if u do not know what that term means just reply :)) than she will be fine. l think u have a really nice mare u should be proud of. l hope this ur question & good luck in the future!

your horse looks ok.i think you could use this horse in most any discipline,the neck will have no affect on the breathing.the conformation is pretty normal.you can do what ever you like on this horse, ride,have fun.

To me, & l am no expert on confirmation, she looks like a typical western pleasure horse. You could still do anything u want with her, she is really cute. Yes she does have a thick & low-set neck, but that does not mean she can not be on the bit. QH is r naturally built with a lower neck set than, say, a warmblood. She still can have a nice, round topline, it will just be harder for her & take a little longer to build those topline muscles b/c u guys would be working against nature.

She is a pretty well put-together horse, has a good hip & shoulder. l love her long slim legs, although she is a little bit buck kneed in front.

l do not see anything wrong with her neck, although maybe she has a thick throatlatch? l can not see it is the picture because of the way she is holding her head.

She is got a gorgeous head, & her crooked blaze is so cute!

She looks like she could have a really nice hunt seat trot, & she could probably do western pleasure, too.

This is a very pretty horse & there is nothing that should cause problems with most disciplines.

She is a little ''over at the knee'' (http://equisearch.com/horses_care/health/anatomy/conformationfaults110299a/ ) which has little or no effect on performance.

Without a front image, l can not see things like what you'd see on http://equisearch.com/horses_care/health/anatomy/conformationfaults110299b/

Rear legs look fine (http://equisearch.com/horses_care/health/anatomy/conformationfaults110299c/ )

The only point of the neck that is critical is where the head joins the neck, called the throatlatch. This helps make sure the horse has an easy time breathing in certain head positions. Unfortunately, we can not see this in ur image. Have a look at (http://helium.com/items/660815-horse-anatomy-the-throatlatch & http://books.google.com/books?id=krD1bAEqypcC&pg=PA70&lpg=PA70&dq=throatlatch+conformation&source=bl&ots=k0Lz4s0bUB&sig=TU3-0mJLNQlVXcioH4mOtApmFak&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result#PPA72,M1 ) & check it against ur horse.

Here is a great overall conformation reference.

Now, conformation aside, this horse needs some significant work to develop overall muscling with an emphasis on hindquarter muscling. The first picture on http://temporaldoorway.com/stable/ourguys/lensman/2008latesummer/index.asp can give u a sense of what she might look like after conditioning.

Well-muscled. this horse could do well in any discipline from a physical standpoint - but success is also based on temperament, sensitivity, feel, and, of course, training.

l hope this helps!
