Mare A

➞ This palomino is the best balanced of the three mares. Her color puts an appealing touch on her athletic appearance. She’s well balanced from front to back, but also from top to bottom. Ideally, her back could be a touch shorter; but overall, she looks like a very capable performer.

Her head shows femininity, and her eye has a quiet, inquisitive look. Her trim, clean throatlatch connects to a pretty and functional neck that’s long on its topline and ties in high to her chest, which will allow her to use her neck freely. Her shoulder is wellsloped, and her front pastern angles are equally good, which will give her a long, smooth stride.

She has good length from point of hip to point of buttocks and a smooth turn over the top of her croup.

Though presented in a natural stance, it’s clear she has a good, straight profile to her knees and a good angle to her hocks. She’s only 3 years old; she should develop into a substantial mare with great balance and structural correctness.
