As an ex-horseperson (sadly) I agree that structure and just plain knowing
anatomy of an animal is very  helpful. Also caring for and training horses
transfers nicely in many instances from one species to another.   One
advantage I found is seeing a structural problem in a horse, and  then RIDING
it and really feeling how it affected movement.   Lameness in horses gives
one a real appreciation of the value of structure...   If your horse is not
sound, it can only be a pasture ornament, and a very expensive one!

Admittedly structure is one  piece of the puzzle, but it is an important one.

Also, I had the misfortune of watching  someone breed unsound outcrosses in
horses and saw the disastrous results. (She  was trying to develop her own
line...)  If one does that in dogs,  the result is the same - not pretty....

In addition,  I'd rather deal with a sherpa bag than a horse trailer any
day!!!
