( Note: none of these photographs are mine, all belong to Marsha Sapp... They're all from the sale page, and some aren't great conformation shots from
what I gather, so bear with me
)
I'm curious about conformation, the in's and out's, and what makes a quality horse. Since these are a couple the horses I frequently see (and ride in some cases) I thought it would be a good place to begin. I've been riding for a good portion of my life, but hadn't paid too much attention to conformation until recently. It's been all lesson horses for me, so I take whatever I'm given lol. At any rate, here are a few horses from Southern Oaks, thoughts?
The flashy---
Doubletaire: 1998 Oldenburg, 16H by Duellglanz out of Ataire, trained through 3rd level dressage, 3ft hunter.

And the not so fancy--
Mac: 9 y.o. Percheron/Paint cross, lesson horse
Finnegan: 11 y.o, 14.1H
Tex: 16yo TB gelding. Trained and competed in eventing, then re-trained as a therapy horse in Texas before coming to Tallahassee. First level dressage and jumping lesson Horse
And the Mustangs, Two of the trainers are participating in the "Mustang Makeover" challenge, these two little mares, Tiramisu and Onyx, were dropped off about a week ago. They're really scruffy and dirty, as you can see, and their feet need work, but they're still getting used to all the new things
Despite being a little fearful, they're actually really cute and inquistive :
