AQHA It could be because he's a Hollywood Jac 86 son, not a Hollywood Dun It son. I've never really noticed a huge tendancy towards long backs or anything just from HJ86 (some I know are longer backed, but it's nothing extreme and they aren't extremely downhill) - it seems to come more directly from HDI, at least in my experiences.

Completely agreed. You don't see it in other HJ86 get, besides HDI.image
The long back comes from Blossom Berry, Hollywood Dun It's dam:




Sundog Quarter Horses

"He's half a ton of poised and controlled energy, held on an easy rein and a hair trigger.
He's a workin' man who can earn his keep on the range all week - and be a handsome dandy at the track on Sunday afternoon.
He's proud when he stands; looks lazy when he walks - but when he runs he can whip the tears from the corners of your eyes and plaster your hat brim against the crown.
He's big in the haunches, supple in the withers, stout in the neck and wide across the chest ......... to hold his great heart.
He's cow-smart and brave - though sometimes a clown - and to the man with the sky in his eye and mud on his boots the Quarter Horse is a faithful hand, and a friend."
