Thanks for the examples, guys (... and the really awesome music).

I don't want to fight with you. If you'd like to tell me something about conformation that would be great. If not, fine.

Most stallions are only going to have minor, picky conformation flaws (from perfection) that are overcome by their race record, but you consider when breeding to your mare to them.
"The faster they run, the prettier they get" Bloodhorse has an excellent small basic conformation book for yearling sales. If you go on the internet, there are lots of equine conformation sites that have good pictures. You can see pics about obvious things like over at knees, toed out, etc. and you can indeed see that type of thing in the paddock esp. with lower end horses. Go watch the walking videos of the stallions advertised on the farm websites - that will help show you good walks. You really only develop your eye on live animals, but you can certainly learn the basics from a book and photos. Seabiscut was noticably "over at the knee". Go find a picture of him?

Here's the three-part Bloodhorse series where different bloodstock agents and trainers look at pictures of yearlings, and come up with completely different interpretations of their physical appearance
But it is helpful, it does have different people referring to the same picture and giving an opinion.http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...g-conformation http://www.bloodhorse.com/yearling_c...on_pt_one.html

i don't know a whole lot but make sure they have a good shoulder (I believe 45% is what to look for) and have straight legs. My friend John Perrotta likes the small, compact look on race horses. He knows a hell of a lot more than I do!
