I think roundness is defined going the length-wise direction of the horse - if we look for roundness around the ribs and over the backbone, I have had some REALLY round horses! But, not totally in jest, the weight of the horse can confuse how things look. And isn't Jaspar in his winter woolies there? It doesn't look like an Icelandic coat, but even some fuzz can make it harder to see. >>is HE round?? He's not obviously hollow in that picture, is he? I'd bet he looks pretty different though when he's in a different mindset, speeding along..? Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
