I hope I put them in the right place, if so what does this tell me. She seems real naturally gaited out in the field and has a sweet canter.

Are you talking about coat spots or skin lesions?

Well I thought the bright Blue spots would be hard to miss. When Brenda does a clinic she highlights these points on the body and can tell if a horse will be more naturally gaited or trotty. She has no skin lesions tho.

I'm not sure if the dots are correct in the front since his head is down. But they seem to show his TWH confirmation with an open front angle and tighter in the back. Generally, this is supposed to mean that he should be able to perform a running walk and angles that are nearly the same front and back is a tell tale for the racking horse. Of course there is a lot more to reading confirmation as it relates to gait. I'm making my judgements based on what I remember about the short version information Brenda gave us on the 'most likely' case. We have a pretty good old thread with the lines drawn on several horses somewhere here. I'll be looking for it and will post a link if I find it.

This is one area that I have a hard time understanding well. However, I notice a long gaskin which would mean a long reach with the hind legs. Will probably be a long strided ground covering horse.

I tried getting some video tonight, stupid camera went off and came back on in picture mode as they were galloping towards me. She is very loose in the rear end. I used a grooming brush on her to night for the first time. She is better about her back legs than her front left, go figure

Tonight I got the filly to let me pick up her front left foot and hold it with out freaking out. The right front will take longer, she is more sensitive to that leg. I can now also brush down both back legs too. Man is it muddy out there. The horses barely strayed from the barn lot, this is the highest point in the pasture. I know it's only feb 5 but can we please have more that 2 days without rain...Please!

You mean your warm enough to get rain instead of snow? Actually, we've had a lot of way above normal temps this winter, so my horses are full of mud too. I really wish it would get frozen and stay that way for awhile (or get to 50 and stay there!).

Rain Rain Rain and above average temps for Jan and Feb, it's really disgusting. We may actually get 5 days without rain this week but temps are dropping back down to 30's at night and 40's during the day.
