Some readers have had questions about “the look” I’m after in a top prospect, or for that matter any age horse. As I mentioned the look is hard to find but easy to see. It’s that extra thing some have. One of the factors is movement. Are they cool movers? The best way to describe that is like a duck on the water. Legs doing all the work while everything above the water, or a horses belly, appears motionless. No wasted movement. Also neck carriage is important. Do they appear and show the position of being relaxed and confident? Usually low and soft. A pretty head and kind eye are good as well as ears that look like they are having fun. Tight tail carriage is a plus as well, giving the impression they are happy with what they are doing.
