Prime Example Of A Long Horse

http://medford.craigslist.org/grd/1299127707.html

This is a horse that has each end in a different zip code. A way long back/barrel. I'm kind of appalled that she's been bred but she has because she throws color.

Actually, I like a smidge longer back than most people as I feel like the horse is a smoother ride. But when you get to this long in the picture, you're starting to ask for problems.

I know that years ago, actually eons, the old time horsemen liked a longer barrel and flank as they thought the mare would have extra room for carrying a foal. That never really made sense to me because the mare still contributes her DNA to the foal and so will most probably have a longer foal anyway.

Her hip is pretty weak and I don't get how she's super fancy either. Looks rather plain to me. But the other parts are okay. Hopefully she has a nice personality too.

I thought Medicine Hats didn't have any color around the eyes, only over the ears but I could be wrong on that. I'll have to check on that.
