woudl toeing out cause tripping?? because she trips some thoer then that she is very sound and has EXCELLENT feet. and yeah we are working on muscling. i broke her myself just a year ago exactly. and she was kept as a pasture pet for 6 years. so we are definatly working on muscle.

She's not a mustang. She would have a brand on her neck if she was. It would show up even with her light color ussualy. She also doesn't look like a mustang.

well her mom was a full blooded mustang. and she was bred with something else. so she isn't wild caught. she was born at the ladies home. but her mom is full. not sure what they bred her with.

i was told she was bred with an Appaloosa colored highland pony... but i just don't see it.. i mean she is a bit fuzzier and her hair is really thick and long and she has the fuzz on her feet but other then that. i really don't see much

awe! She is so fuzzy!
My horse has hardly any fuzz.

She does toe out it looks like.

I had horse that toed out and she tripped all the time and stumbled. She was 13 years young :) She was the best! So sweet and gentle but I returned her to the previous owner because I have epilepsy and can't afford having a horse fall down all the time...maybe arthritis? Not sure.

Any breed can be built downhill...it's not a breed type thing, it's a conformation 'flaw' thing...happens in any breed...:wink:

Personally, because of mustang's mixed heritage, there is alot of different style out there; I have seen mustangs with the heavy heads, and really large frames, but I've also seen ones with more refined build...they are a mixed breed horse to begin with, so anything can crop up, really.

She does look mustang-ish, especially in the first picture of the second set of photos you posted..., and due to that, she can be any pattern, or color scheme possible...

hmm are any of the big ponies built downhil? i don't know the lady i bought her from used her as a pasture ornament and i never really got a look to see if her mom had the mustang brand so maybe she lied? she seemed kinda like backyard breed in a way. plus she just seemed to easy to break. althoguh she had never been ridden before so maybe i really was lied to. but who knows i love her to death anyway!

ok well i was playing around with some of her photos today. and i don't think she is mixed with app AT ALL i was darkening some photos and this is what i found!! also the hoof is a picture of a vertical stripe i found on her hoof!! and the last picture is of the mottling on the other side of her face! i am assuming because of that side with no "mascara" that she is baldie on that side?? so what does this mean?

is it possible for it to be that way for the whole year that i've had her? she's always seemed like she's had fantastic sturdy feet. she was being shod up untill about 4 months ago i think.. maybe a little longer then we decided to go barefoot. and she's never really seemed ouchy but maybe i'm wrong. she has always tripped since i've had her. even while she is out running around in the pasture as well.

and alot of people are saying she is undermuscled lately. so how would i go about toning and building it up?

yeah. i am beginning to wish i hadn't really just jumped on the fact that she was cheap and gentle. kinda wishing i had checked her out futher more and checked her mom for a brand. so i guess she is a "mutt" for now but who cares! i love her to bits! and she does great for me and thats all i could ever ask
