AFPhoenix, which silly people would you be referring to?

Myself, perhaps?

See, that bothers me. :|

Because I am hard to please, I'm branded as 'silly.'

I LOVE the Foundation Quarter Horse. I think this horse is an okay, middle-of-the-road example of one. Could be better, but could be a lot worse too.

I also think that folks should have very high standards for their Foundation Quarter Horses they breed because there ARE so many taco-hats (love that term, btw!) breeding them because they fancy themselves real 'cowpokes.'

I drew some REAL lines, instead of imaginary ones, on him. Nothing over the top, just a neck line, a back line, and a trapezoid.



What I DO hate is that Foundation Quarter Horses are one of the most overbred demographics of the stock horse realm.

And just like the Labrador and Jack Russell Terrier, everybody and their cousin wants to breed them because you are guaranteed to be able to sell the babies regardless of their quality because they are AKC's top breeds.
A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
