A Prime Example Of Lop Ears

Or a prime example of ears set WAY too far forward.

See how the ears look like they just go straight with the neck, over the horse's nose? Then when she has them 'at ease', they go to the side. This is not an attractive attribute but really won't make much difference, if any at all, in the way she rides. I once knew a champion jumping mare who had this condition and she could jump the moon. But in Jumpers, you can have pretty much anything as long as the horse can get over the fence without knocking a rail or rubbing.

The thing that would really worry me is the ad states that teenagers and very inexperienced adults have been riding her. Holy cow! Unless that trainer was after the teeny-boppers and inexperienced adults, this little lady is probably pretty damn spoiled. I sure would want a severe discount on the sale price.

Wow...
