Reining & cutting horse conformation… good or bad?
UPDATE: You may find it interesting to know, this horse went on to win multiple championships and is still winning today. Super nice horse.
If you’d like to learn a bunch more about horse conformation concerning form to function and train-ability… get my Cutting Horse Know How online training course.
In the online course I go into a ton of detail.
If you want to know how a horse’s conformation affects his performance, this is a video you should watch. In this video, I cover everything… the good, the bad and the ugly.
Plus, I also explain stuff like…
Sickle hocks
Post legged
Bench knees
Calf knees
Ewe necked
Parrot mouthed
Hock set
Dropped hip
Steep shoulders
Low backed
Corner-post legs
Shallow flanked
Wide chested
High hipped
Long mouthed
Etc.
One of the most important things I cover is what conformation traits allow a horse to do the big stops of a cutting or reining horse.
Most people think it’s a BIG HIP.
It’s NOT.
You’ll learn this and a bunch more in Cutting Horse Know How.
Hi Larry! I have been following your teachings and horse trainig tips some time ago. All are very helpfull and very well explained, so thank you very much for sharing.
just bought a paint filly with similar conformation
A HANDS ON LESSON. VERY HELPFUL
Your videos are extremely helpful. I’m a busy wife and a mom of two kids. I don’t always have time to ride, take a lesson or make it to clinics on the weekends, but I can always watch one of your videos while I’m waiting on laundry, making dinner or getting a pedicure. Every little bit helps and you are excellent at articulating your point!

I have seen this video before but learn something every time I watch. So much knowledge delivered so simply that even an old hillbilly like me can learn.
Thanks
I enjoyed the confirmation video. I’m in the process of buying a horse to team pen and ranch sort. The video was quite helpful.
