I tried to nab some conformation photos of the girls on Wednesday evening for my 30 b4 30 monthly updates (i already missed out on taking the first ones in January oopsy) and the awesome BBS conformation critique is something I really wanna do with my monsters.

| As good as it got - but far from square |
However as you'll see from the fabulous fail photos i didn't quite manage to nab either girl standing square. A definite work in progress!
 |
| Downside to her Friesian blood - i hate when she stands under herself like this |
They are both looking really good! You take such great care of them :)
ReplyDeleteThey would.look a lot better if i could string some consistent saddle time together - fingers crossed for the weekend and next week and the week after that etc ;-)
DeleteThanks though hun, a bit of mane & tail TLC and things will look even better.
So adorns! Great clip jobs too!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty cute of i do say so myself (always have jay-z's voice in my head from queen B's XO song sorry ott). The clip jobs do a good job of masking lack of musculature & flabby bellies - although Kika has no probs letting it all hang out ;-)
DeleteI am just over here loving your clip jobs and stuff. Looking forward to seeing what their confo critique comes up with!
ReplyDeleteMe too, glad I'm not the only one. Now to get them standing square!
Deletehaha you did better than i managed with my mare!!! (who also stands under herself like that all the time... ugh)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a nuisance?! If you have any tips to train her out of it I'm all ears ☺
DeleteWow! Kika! :) And I love the clip job!
ReplyDeleteShe's so fancy and she already knows; -)
DeleteNot my clip job, but I do love both girls "looks" ☺
They are beautiful! Love your clip jobs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, not my handiwork although I think it possibly distracts nicely from a multitude of conformational flaws ;-)
DeleteLove the clips, and such gorgeous girls :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I didn't clip them - but i do love thinking outside the box
DeleteLove your clip skills!
ReplyDeleteNot mine I'm afraid, stepping away from traditional lines can be fun especially when not showing ;-)
DeleteMirroring what everyone else has said....Love that clip job!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, I am biased, but i think they are pretty cute. Even though they stand terribly ;-)
DeleteOh man I had a heck of a time getting my horses square for the bodyworker. I always mean to practice that but you really need two people and I'm always alone haha
ReplyDeleteTHIS - so this! Trying to halt a horse square alone is challenging...Then to step back to take a photo and they go to follow you, heart warming & heart breaking at the same time. So cute yet frustrating that re-positioning has to start over lolz
DeleteNancy and TC have the exact same feet! Friesian feet! Both of them are sooo cute
ReplyDeleteHeeeeee-uge monster feet Nancy has. Total clumpers.
DeleteI love the similarities between TC & N. I cannot wait to see what other adventures you guys have ☺
I love their trace clips!
ReplyDeleteI like to keep things different & mix it up ☺
DeleteUgh Chrome stands under himself too! Actually these are fantastic conformation shots!! You don't want them standing square for conformation shots because then the offside legs are hidden from view. Behind the Bit did a fantastic post on taking nice conformation pictures http://www.behindthebitblog.com/2008/02/conformation-photos-tips-and-tricks.html Notice how she says to place the legs? Kika almost has it right, she just needs to move her right hind forward. They both are absolutely gorgeous by the way. :D
ReplyDeleteInteresting thanks for the link...I'll have to read that when I get a chance!
