 Take a Picture

| I think that conformation is a a personal issue unless you are showing in a halter class where there are standards. If a type of conformation works for you great. You do need to remember that conformation flaws often lead debilitating injuries and if you ever plan to sell, other people may not have the same ideas on the ideal horse. |

I think it applies. |

Totally disagree.
Correct is correct, there really isn't any deviation.
Now there are verying degrees of correctness that you as an owner or rider are willing to over look, but that does not take away from the fact that what you are willing to over look is indeed a flaw.

I have to agree with this. You're getting smarter 1D. Wonders never cease. lol
I also disagree with streakysox in that halter horses have 'standards' in a positive way. The judges want and will reward conformation that contradicts good sense when trying to determine performance ability. They've gone too far off in left field; with posty hocks and HUGE bodies on short upright pasterns. There's no way a winning halter horse can be anything else. |

I agree with 1d and Oregon... Halter horses 9 times out of 10 make me  And 
That being said this one isn't a bad looking horse :) |

Oh I remember you posting about him.. |
|

| I've been spit at, harassed and had rocks thrown at me for
advocating packing your breeding program with families of the most
famous barrel bloodlines you can into a pedigree along with
a massive dose of speed in order to get the specialized
characteristics and barrel horse conformation you want
while using the current bloodlines as much as possible.
You have to focus on your entire breeding program for years
in order to stack the genes indepth in a foals pedigree by
breeding like to like so you have confidence that there are
no holes that will produce a dink or conformation flaws that
will take a horse out of the tuff sport of barrel racing.
As you breed horses year after year adding favored bloodlines
you move a generation each time .. so you fill all 5 generations
with producers and famous mare and stallion bloodlines to
form an almost impenetrable gene base so how ever the DNA
flows the foal ... the characteristics, conformation and speed
will remain.
You want buyers to take one glance at the foal and the
pedigree and decide on their own that this foal fits the long
term format to be labeled as specialized barrel horse breeding
just by looking at the results and the many families stacked
in its pedigree ... The buyer has to be knowledgeable on who
the dominating sires have been and who the high producing
mares have been.
Raise your hands if you know who the dam to Mulberry Canyon
Moon is without looking it up... lol ... or what mare contributed
the most to Frenchmans Guy or what mares are considered blue
hen mares thru their producing daughters ..
I praise the owners, riders and breeder of SLICK BY DESIGN for
managing his career to make him the
SECRETARIAT OF BARREL RACING!! ...
Hat's off to all of his connections!! .. I cringe when
I see people dissing him that have no clue of the
excellent barrel horse families packed into his pedigree.
I also believe in a good basic feeding program with all the
necessary nutrients for generations in order to keep the
soundness and overall strength of the DNA functioning from
generation to generation ...
I think this colt fits the type of athlete I have been striving for .
. the sire and dam both are from my long term breeding and
feeding programs ...
IMO ...................
They have to look and act like athletes from the time they are born .
ENJOY THE VIDEO ...
