I joined this group on Facebook called Confo Confab. The group was created from a conformation critique a reader of Fugly Horse of the Day submitted of her own horse. According to the comments, the general consensus was that even though the horse did have some conformation flaws, he was a great horse and very loved by his owner. It was quite surprising that the comments leaned toward the positive, since FHOTD focuses on poking fun of horses posted on Craig's List and their sellers, horses used for breeding that are sub-par, rescue stories, and exposing trainer abuse.
Anyway, I submitted a photo of Shyloh for the group to critique and this is what I got:
I know absolutely nothing regarding conformation and I was wondering what my readers thought about Shy. Regardless if Shy had a downhill slope you could ski on and her legs were all different lengths and twisted every which way, I would still love this sassy pony!
Interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'm not great on conformation either. I can only pick out the basic stuff; cow hocked, toed in, missing leg... that sort of stuff!
ReplyDeleteBut, you are right - as is Katharine - she is darn cute!
She has the cute factor all wrapped up, that's what I say!
ReplyDeleteI'd be able to help if she were a Cardigan Welsh Corgi having shown and bred them for many years in the past. Saying that, if Camryn were a Cardigam, she would most definitly NOT win a Best In Show!!! Nor would she kick anyones butt in the Haflinger ring I'd venture to guess. Being my gurl however like Shy is yours, she's in the ribbon every day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like she got a really good critique! :) Judging by the lines she looks really well put together. I think she's a really nice Haflinger and I also think she's absolutely adorable. :D Thanks for sharing the Facebook group. I'm going to join too. If I get a critique I'll post mine too.
