Conformation Tutorial

THANK YOU for making this fantabulous thread, a sticky :) :)

So here is Lola..Are the points ok? I cannot do all that measurement thing..I was never good at maths XD

Ohh man I really need to go take a picture asap. Lol LOVE this thread!!

Last Unicorn, thank you so much for taking the time to prepare this wonderful tutorial!

Her ribcage line is too long - you want it to end at her last rib, and intersect (touch) the body length line.

Her shoulder line (your black one) should go through the center of her shoulder - from there it's position and where it "touches" the other dots will tell us something.

I think the others are OK. I'm going to really try to remember to get back here later to do the measuring!

I'm trying to do this with a pic of Bella, I have all the lines and dots where I think they go, but I can't measure, I downloaded bit ruler and screen protractor but I can't figure them out...can anyone help?

I know it's not the best confo pic, but I don't have anything better right now

I wanted to bump this fabulous thread back up - I see a lot of people asking for horse critiques, when they can come to this particular thread to read up on how to do the evaluations themselves.

Attemping to understand all of this, Help??

Ok, so I had a go. Can someone take a look and tell me if I got all the dots/lines right before I go and measure them all?

OTTB, yes, all look pretty good! Your stifle joint dot may be a bit high... So keep that in mind if the measurement signifies something that doesn't "fit" your horse.
