Conformation, conformation continued

More conformation obstacles---The forehand is critical--in the natural form the forehand does all the work--the horse pulls with it and 80 percent of the weight is carried there-----heavy shoulder--just adds that much more stress to a front end and makes it very difficult for the horse to carry or move it---wide front legs--the horse needs to be able to step across the opposite leg to turn around and wide front legs almost prohibit that---low withers----lower than the hindquarter makes it almost impossible for this horse to ever achieve a correct stop. Look at these features before putting time and money into your colts to be stop and turn...
