I am your Mord Sith AriaStarSong Just my two cents... I'm a professional horse trainer. I have a degree in an equine related field and I'm a certified riding instructor through NARHA. I'm working on getting my qualifications out of the way so that I can get my USDF instructor certification. I think I qualify as an "expert" on horses. That horse is fine condition from what you can tell in the picture. He's a bit of a homely creature. Kind of a mulish head, short neck, and spindly legs weak hocks, but half-decent conformation for a casual riding horse. He's in good weight, has good muscle, a nice coat and a bright eye. His belly isn't distended or wormy looking, and his back looks pretty strong. He has obviously been very well taken care of, and considering he's a rescue, for his condition to have returned to this state is a testament to Mord and her family's horse-keeping skills. As for the rest, that's pretty low. I don't think I really need to say anything more. I lol'd at the "mulish head" comment. Its so freaking true. So, what is your professional opinion on my little KC? Shes the most lovable little horse ever. Anyways, thank you for your two cents. It was very much appreciated.
Honestly, I've never worked with minis. We have one at the barn I work at, but we don't use her for anything at this point. I just see her dragging the owner's son around when he's bringing her in or out (teach manners? to a mini? That's a silly idea...) but she isn't nearly as cute as KC. |

My professional opinion on KC is that she is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!! Honestly, I've never worked with minis. We have one at the barn I work at, but we don't use her for anything at this point. I just see her dragging the owner's son around when he's bringing her in or out (teach manners? to a mini? That's a silly idea...) but she isn't nearly as cute as KC.
Aww, thanks. KC is my best friend in the barn. When ever I let her out for pasture time, we always run around together. She even knows how to do a few tricks. She knows how to shake and smile. |
