Conformation : form to function (2002)
Abstract
When evaluating the conformation of a horse, you should consider the following areas: balance, muscle, structural correctness, and breed and sex characteristics. Fads at times have skewed the importance of one trait or another, but all are important whether you are looking at a prospective halter horse or performance horse.
