You wouldn't offend me:). Especially when it's the truth.

I don't know why people think those little feet are attractive on big bluky quarter horses. This horse is actually not registered. She come from good QH stock, but got caught at birth in the middle of a nasty divorce. I'm not sure of the details but the one that landed up with her didn't get the papers to register her, sooooooo.....

I don't get it either. Those little feet are prone to ringbone and navicular. That little paint mare you saw me on up thread had that big muscular body and tiny feet too. Ended up with a low ringbone that made her lame. I think she ended up only comfortable enough to be a brood mare and occasional child's mount now.

Hopefully it is a fashion that will soon come to an end.

Bay has big feet for an Arab. His navicular syndrome is not from poor conformation so much as just really hard work for any horse, with the distance racing he did.
