Neither are awful horses (they're both pretty nice) but both have loins way longer than ideal. It obviously hasn't bothered them - yay for horses being the sum of their parts. But with loins that long you can't say they're almost 'perfect' IMO.

(Oh and I agree that the second horse (ie the son) is goose rumped.)

Maybe you don't follow Deb Bennett's conformation thoughts...huh...? And I also disagree the Palomino has long loins...


Horse 3. Here we see extreme pelvic slope (32 degrees) or "goose rump”. 




Croup slope =/= pelvic slope. Better go google some more.

And you can argue all you like that both palis don't have long loins... but you'd be wrong. Both of their LS joints are behind their hips so their loins are automatically going to be long.
You need to go Google some more...









And again, I disagree with your statement that both Palominos have long backs...And the only true way to know for sure is by palpating their LS joint, or proving they were bad performers.
