Reining & cutting horse conformation… good or bad?
UPDATE: You may find it interesting to know, this horse went on to win multiple championships and is still winning today. Super nice horse.
If you’d like to learn a bunch more about horse conformation concerning form to function and train-ability… get my Cutting Horse Know How online training course.
In the online course I go into a ton of detail.
If you want to know how a horse’s conformation affects his performance, this is a video you should watch. In this video, I cover everything… the good, the bad and the ugly.
Plus, I also explain stuff like…
Sickle hocks
Post legged
Bench knees
Calf knees
Ewe necked
Parrot mouthed
Hock set
Dropped hip
Steep shoulders
Low backed
Corner-post legs
Shallow flanked
Wide chested
High hipped
Long mouthed
Etc.
One of the most important things I cover is what conformation traits allow a horse to do the big stops of a cutting or reining horse.
Most people think it’s a BIG HIP.
It’s NOT.
You’ll learn this and a bunch more in Cutting Horse Know How.
