That is useful information IMO.
It is all useful information IMO, but if you're trying to learn the game it would be extremely worthwhile to be able to take that information and use it to your advantage. And while you see it as useful information, I can tell you as a horsewoman myself and who looks at those types of things, I've been told more times than not that the physical impression of a horse isn't important. So I'm not so sure a newbie would be listening to that information if that is what they are lead to believe.
