of Conformation |
- Short back in proportion to overall body (short distance
between last rib to point of hip).
- Broad chest.
- Heavy well-rounded hips (slab sided or severely sloping
hindquarters are considered a fault.
- Heavy flat bone at the knee, ample hooves (small
contracted hooves are considered a fault).
- Feathering that begins at the knees or near the
hocks extending over the front of the hooves. Ample to
abundant mane and tail.
- Sweet head (fine head on a strong neck in harmony
with the horse's overall look).
- Disposition (the horse should exhibit traits of
intelligence, kindness, and docility — overly
aggressive behavior is considered a fault).
