Mare C

➞ Though lacking substantial stature, this mare is well balanced and would be useful for many tasks. She’s proportionate in her topline-to-underline ratio, meaning her back is shorter from break of her withers to her hip than the bottom line of her body from elbow to stifle, a trait of athletic horses.

She has a kind look in her eye. Though clean through her throatlatch, her neck could ideally be longer. Her neck is still fairly proportionate in relation to her build, and she should be able to use it in various positions to adapt for various tasks. Her shoulders are more upright than Mare A’s, but adequate for work, and her front pasterns’ length and angle are also acceptable.

Her hip is a touch high, but not enough to cause her to struggle in athletic work. She’s lightly muscled in her hind end and lacks length from the point of her hip to point of her buttocks compared to the other two mares, though she remains proportionate for her own build.
