How can this be conformationally correct, let alone desirable!?
I like the look of a halter Arabian better than all of the halter QHs and Paints. At least the Arabians look like they can be ridden and not fall flat on their face. They look very pretty to me (granted I know close to nothing about arabs) and 100% prettier than the beefy Paint halter horses I see every weekend. I think the arab ociation has kept some good ideals in their halter program, much more than QH or Paint. I hate the 1500 lb halter mares and geldings that only get 15 minutes on a hotwalker a day, the crazy stallions, and weanlings that are about the same weight as my mare and that never see the sunlight. They are overfed, over muscled, and absolutely crazy (at least 90% are). Their legs are a train wreck of angles, and they are almost all going to be navicular by age 3 because they are all so upright and base narrow. Plus alot of the stock type halter horses are being sweated until they get a neck like an Arabian! It is confusing to me, however I think this a href="http://arabiansites.com/psyncere/index.html" rel="nofollow"http://arabiansites.com/psyncere/index.h…/a is much prettier and easier to look at than this a href="http://www.clarkri.com/main.html" rel="nofollow"http://www.clarkri.com/main.html/a granted that the arabian looks pretty jazzed up. At least Arabians are meant to have a little less bone than stock type breeds and haven't bred all of their bone substance out like QH and Paint have.
