Well, you gotta tilt your head a little first to line up the front hooves with the rear (so horse is visually on a flat surface), but even so, that horse looks like it's been photoshopped to be THAT butt high. Awkward.
I don't think it's quite as bad as the picture makes it look. It looks like the front hooves are down in a hole, but it's still pretty bad.
Oh, yeah. The worst part is training them at the lope until they get some level of collection going. When you first start loping them and they're all strung out, you feel about like the Man from Snowy River loping down that really steep hill LOL.
Yipes! I did think my horse was butt high, but now I see that I should be even more grateful for every 1/4" I watched her front end grow over the past year. On another note, I saw a horse out in a field once who was so unbelievably butt high, even more so than this guy, with a foal at its side. O.O
OMG so funny!!!!!on a sort of related topic. I went to google 'butt high horses' and since my school gives me a laptop... they block certain things.. and I guess that googling that.. Im looking for 'adult content!' MUAHAHAHAHA wow
I agree with tinyliny that the photo looks retouched and that the back end of the horse is larger in general than the front. Look at how big the hocks and cannon bones of the hind quarter are compared to the front legs and cannons.
