| Rip hr apart, you wont hurt my feelings. Not the best photo I have. I don't remember if I have ever posted her here before either so, forgive me if I have. She's not down hill she was just kinda standing in a hole.
Not standing really square anyhow. But this is the only photo I have that is this recent.

Past history suggests otherwise.

Excuse me? I really didn't post this to start stuff, I just posted it for a conformation crit. If you're referring to the registration thing, my feelings weren't hurt. Everyone was right just got PO'd when everyone jumped on me when I was only asking questions. I know this mare's faults just wanted to see what anyone else saw.

Location: Northern CA | Well, since you asked.... Keep in mind I am looking at her from a perfomance perspective. To me she is a little short necked and steep shouldered, a little flat over the croup, and weak in her stifles and gaskins. Doesn't mean she isn't an awesome horse, just the things that stick out to me. |

Thank you. Is this just a confo default or can it be better with adding muscle(stifles gaskin area)?

Hard to tell from the pictures, but legging up and conditioning sure can't hurt! |

| These were taken back in 2011, so she has so much less muscle definition. Only other photo's I have.

Yeah. Her neck doesn't tie in very well and is kinda skinny xD. I think just the way I caught the angle of the first photo made it look short. |

I would too, seriously. She has more muscle then she used too. But she's always gonna have a tiny butt. I have been told she has the fox trotter butt. (She's not full Qh. She's 3/4 QH, 1/4 mftxarab.) she was a BYB accident.

xD she's a god awful looking QH if she was full. I mean she's not bad, but she's by no means 'looking' like a QH. She never shows, the MFT in her, ever except in her butt. But she sure as heck shows the Arabian when she wants. |

Can you give me any good excises to do with her to strength both those areas?? |

I have a levee close to my home and sending them up it builds those muscles......find a hill, work her in sand, long, slow gallops.....that sort of thing will help. |

I agree with this but also want to add her front legs are set too far underneath her, this will cause her to have a shorter stride, her hocks are a little higher then I like to see.
Also want to comment all you can do is tone the muscle she has you cannot develop muscle she was not born with |
