Location: Cocoa, Florida | I have a grade mare and was wondering if anyone recognizes any distinguishing traits, confirmation etc that may be linked to how she's bred? I know some of you study these things for a living so I was bored and thought I'd try!
She's a great mare, turned out to be a heck of a barrel horse, the first pic is her dam, who was grade but I have no idea where she came from she was an auction horse. The last pics are of her. Her side aide is all foundation, cow and reining.

Location: Oklahoma | I would guess pretty much cutting bloodlines from her conformation. Also, it looks like she has a slightly dished face. A lot of Doc Bar bred horses have the dished face. |

The people who bought her dam actually owned a cutting farm, so I'm wondering if that's why? Or if they knew her breeding at the time! Thanks for your input, didn't even think about her face and the doc bar, it is slightly dished and I call her mouth her beak because it almost comes in like a beak lol. She's pretty stocky too, not a big frame but muscles up really well, she has good thick bone too, and awesome feet. She is a turner, she will never run past a barrel. |

Location: North Dakota | I'm thinking Impressive also....a lot of people don't like the issues with impressive bred horses so they burn the papers and sell them as grade.... |

I was wondering about impressive myself, at first I didn't think so because she was so gangly and narrow when I got her but within a year now that I've owned her she has bulked up a LOT. She's not very wide in the chest or top line though, she's narrow still but has better muscling.
Her sire had dunit with style, (Hollywood dunit) triple chick, Leo, top moon and sonny Dee bar (which I just found today actually)
So looks like there's a little bit of everything on the side but the top moon and sonny Dee bar are pretty far back.
Is there anyway to DNA the dam to find out? Or my mare?
