Quote:In the photos of the all around QH, why are all the photos showing them butt first? And, whats with the downhill-ness? It seems even the well bred great all around QH are very much downhill. I understand the stock horse isn't trying to be uphill like a warmblood, but shouldn't they be level? Are breeders working for level? Purposefully breeding for downhill? Is the downhill a good thing? My primarily english background makes me think downhill is bad. But I can understand that it could be an asset, in cutting for example. Easier to get down low in the front.

Quote:Thanks FTFOTB. When you say you're breeding for a correct horse, do you mean you are working towards a more level topline? You said that you don't know anyone thats purposefully breeding downhill and it just comes with the territory, does that mean they aren't taking that into consideration at all? Or are breeders working towards level and just haven't gotten there? Because according to the breed, the QH is supposed to be the most versatile, right? So what about using them for disciplines such as dressage, or jumpers? Do some breeders work towards uphill?

Quote: information passed around that was so completely twisted around from the truth it isn't funny. Then there are the two-faced participants who say one thing here, and something completely different over there. And they call us mental. I now see why TILII was so upset with HH for posting the link. Too late, I've already read the trash. And to think I thought TC and few others were actually worth conversing with here and there...silly me.
