Re: Evaluating Yearling-2yo for potential cannon size at full growth

Maureen,

Interesting idea to measure between the eyes.  However, I wonder if that would
work as well with Arabs as (some) breeders try to get a lot of width between
the eyes as it's a "type" characteristic, but some of these wide eyed horses
don't have much bone.  May have been true (with Arabs) before there was a
conscious effort to breed for wide foreheads, but a "refined" body.
