FEB.1, 2012 Many of you are disappointed in the results you get from training your colts to be performance horses. Absolute correct conformation is mandatory to get a competitive horse. Any flaws in conformation will usuallly result in unsoundness or a horse not capable of doing what you are asking. The set of the hind leg is the first critical and most common flaw---To determine the correct set --take a s...tring 4 feet long and put a little weight on one end. Stand your horse square and then place the string line on the point of the buttock and let it fall to the ground. The back of the hock and hind leg should be exactly straight up and down with the line touching the back all the way to the ground. Any deviation from this is a deformity and will cause lots of grief for you and your horse in training and showing.
