<< Also some of you were speaking about the conformation which should be
ideal for an endurance horse and this is also something well described
in endurance-related books. OK. But when you watch a race, you can see
about every type of conformation. Why?
BTW, what is according to you the perfect conformation that one should
check when buying a horse? >>
Oh boy, this is a loaded question - one with a myriad of replies. The perfect
conformation is sometiems beat out by the less physically qualified horse
with the bigger heart and the loving rider. There are just too many intrinsic
qualities of horses - and people - that can affect success. That is why we
raise our own instead of buying horses. We can live with them and see what is
in their hearts.
