Conformation Test

While showing well is a very good aspect in a horse, they should also have good-excellent conformation! This is why we have set up this kind of test!

You may only take this evaluation once!
Your horse may either be shown at a Walk, Trot or Standing [Squared]

To Complete this Evaluation, please NOTE the group with the follow:

Horse Breed: [link if a DA breed. Link if part of a Natural breed registry]
Discipline:

Note: These Run Every Monday. Or Every Monday and Friday if there are allot of participants ^^

Conformation Tests will take place at Deadmans Willow where Luciano was kind enough to rent us his arenas.
You may use either the Indoor Arena or the Outdoor Dressage arena found on the Map

Eventually I will provide Premade backgrounds for this test, but you get higher score for creating your own!

Now, Your horse will be judged 1-10 on the following:

Balance
Muscling
Structure (i.e., soundness and correctness of conformation)

Most of these are RNG based and you will receive "3" scores that are averaged together [each can be recorded if wished]. This is to perform like a panel of judges.

Structure is based on your Drawing, though not anatomically. Please Look under that subsection for more information!

Balance:
Balance is one of the sight traits.
Typically this is a measure of how the horse is "proportioned". See Link below if you would like more detail!

1-2 - Out of Balance
3-8 - Almost Perfect Balance
9-10 - Ideal Balance

Muscling:
This is one of our RNG traits.
A horse needs to have a bit of muscle to perform their duties. So no twigs! hehe.

1-2 - Very Lanky
3-8 - Moderately muscled
9-10 - Perfect Muscling

Structure:
This is one of the Sight Traits.
Allot of things are looked at here. From the horses' size and standing [preferred them to be "squared"] However, we are also looking at breed standards.

Is your horse the right size? Color? Personality? Are they in a suitable discipline? How are their gaits? Many things factor into these ratings!

This is the image you must draw to be graded on.

1-2 - Undesirable Structure
3-8 - Desirable Structure
9-10 - Perfection

These scores will be added up For your horse's Score!

Scores:

3-6 = Not a good Conformation
7-24 = Good Conformation
25-30 = Perfect Conformation

While this has no direct Impact on your horses' desirability, it is a fun activity that our members can do!

Those who participate earn an extra +3 cp and fall under the Show Catagory
3-6 = +.5cp
7-24 = +1 cp
25-30 = +1.5cp
