How Horse Conformation Affects Performance and Soundness

in today's video we will be discussing horse conformation. Can you look at a horse and be able to tell how he is going to move? Or where he is most likely to develop a lameness if he is in heavy work? Or ever just wonder why some horses excel in performance disciplines such as dressage, eventing, or reining, while others can't even find their feet to jump a crossrail? While a big part of performance is training, good conformation is what really creates an equine athlete. Even if you are only interested in light trail riding - knowing how to evaluate conformation can help you choose a horse that is more likely to stay sound and be a comfortable ride.
