Answer 1

I would choose horse #3, Gracie, because I love her coloring and she does jumping and hunt like I do. I would also like to compete a bit in dressage so she could take me a little ways in that. She is a good age for me and also a good size. Her conformation looks good and I think she would be a good horse for me.

Answer 2

1.  Mutton withered, downhill balance, slightly long back.

      Legs look correct and clean.

2.  Wither higher than croup, short neck, legs too slight for her

     frame, rear legs could be crooked, can't tell.  Nice head.

3.  Steeper shoulder and croup and longish back, legs look

     ok but hard to tell, looks like he moves well and is athletic.

4.  Unattractive head,  Roman nose and too long, with short

      neck.  Looks tied in below front knees, and maybe cut in  

      under slightly sickled hocks. Nice short back.

If I have to choose one of these, I pick number 3 as the most likely to function best as an all around riding horse.  In reality I wouldn't pick any of them.

Answer 3

Wow you made it a little tougher this time......lol   These are much better matched

first horse, small, thick neck and throatlatch and neck is short, has a very typey head and expressive eye. His shoulder angle is ok but his pasterns are stumpy and the front legs look a little toed out. he has free-flowing stride but Im not fond of his tail set.

second horse, beautiful split in trot and i love her head. Im not fond of the way her neck comes out and ties into her shoulder, her neck does not look in proportion to the rest of her body in the trotting pic, but her neck looks nice in the standing pic. Im not going to fault her too badly in her standing pic as she was not set-up properly and its not a fair pic to judge.

third horse, Has a very typical warmblood head, but it fits her body, a straighter shoulder than the others along with her pasterns, she is a very nice bodied mare, but again poor standing pic, cant even see her legs, she looks a little sickle hocked, but not bad. I actually like this mare.

fourth horse,  Hate this horses head!! but you dont ride the head...he he ......He is a big boy and again I dont like his side shot, not flattering and is he camped under or just bad positioning??? He also has a very thick throatlatch and a high set neck, now mind you my discipline is AQHA WP I do not ride dressage so as far as neck placement Im guessing, He has a nice short back and is well bodied.

For me, like I said I really dont know what a dressage rider is most looking for I like number 4 but he would need a lot of training, I also like number3 because of her trot. Dont rip  me apart too bad if I got it totally wrong, lol

Answer 4

#4

Answer 5

2

Answer 6

1. Neck is to short and thick, legs look to short for the rest of the horse.

2. Rump is to low and legs look cow-hocked. Front legs are not under the horse.

3.Very cute undder saddle, I like him.

4. I like this guy. His back might be a little stright. Not sure if he's a good mover. Hard to tell from pic's.

I would go with #3

Answer 7

For me It would be either horse 3 or 4 because they r both beautiful, a little more spirited than the others, and im more into the jumping and endurance riding. Horse 1 is stunning but i wouldnt buy because im not into dressage.Horse 1 is also more of a pony and seems a little stockier so she wouldnt be fitted for my type of riding.Horse two is also very pretty but she's a little too stocky for me, she's not quite as athletic as i like.In the end i would probably buy horse 3 as horse 4 isnt completely trained(just learning to canter).

Answer 8

Horse 1: Its a pony. It looks like its built downhill and has a longish back. And its a pony. No go.

Horse 2: Limited training and looks like an arabian. She also has funny looking withers. If I am paying $5000 for a warmblood it best look like a warmblood.

Horse 3: I like this horse. He looks like an american warmblood: some quarter horse with some real warmblood/sport horse with a fair amount of TB. I choose this one. His training is less not to fabulous but I can see him making a nice Pony Club/lower level eventing horse. For my area she is not over priced at all.

Horse 4: His pictures are a little random but I like his looks. I would fail miserably at training though so he is out due to that. I am not sure if its the angle but neither of his movement pic really fly out at me either.

I suck at conformation though so I am not even trying. I know when something looks funny but thats about it.

Answer 9

1.  This horse is really pretty!  Looks like a good mover and has a good temperament.  Would be a little short for me but for a younger rider would be okay.  Looks a little sway-backed but I can't tell for sure, it might just be because her head is raised.

2.  Perfect age and height and temperament!  haha she is also very pretty.  In the second picture she is using her hind quarters well and reaching her legs well under her body.  I would probably get this horse just because she seems to have lots of potential.  She has high withers, but they could just be very muscular.

3.  This is the horse I would get!  Nice conformation, but I can't really tell in the picture.  She has good potential and has already been started jumping.  Great age and height.  Very nice head carriage.

4. Very nice horse, but not for me.  He needs a good trainer who can work him him and teach him.  He is very slightly sickle hocked, but that's no big deal.

Answer 10

Jazzy. She would be my pick. She has an excellent conformation, and just looking at her, a sweet personality. She is also green trained, so no bad habits have set in.

Be an excellent Horse under saddle, with light hands, and an easy mover. Just check out out her sleek legs! Nice high withers, and long smooth back.

Beautiful Mare.

Fun Game!

Answer 11

1.  Yikes.  Poor thing doesn't have the kind of conformation I'm looking for in a horse.  That horse is built to be heavy on the forehand, as evidenced by the under-saddle photo.  I don't like uphill battles, so no thanks!  Also, 14.1 is not out of the question for me, but I do prefer something bigger.

2.  Pretty girl, OK shoulder, likely is a lot easier to get on the bit than #1.  She's at a good age - I'd definetely make a trip to meet her in person.

3.  Nothing too special looks-wise or training-wise.  In my opinion, a bit overpriced for her training/level.

4.  I'm a complete sucker for dappled greys...he is cute cute cute.  Built a little uphill (that is good as I am into dressage), decent confo - I like very much except he doesn't have a lot of training which is not something I am looking for.

#2 is my choice.  Fair price, lovely mare.
