Because we are raising our second or third household of kids, I have one
last daughter to coach in the selection of husbands.  She's only 14 and has
severe cerebral palsy, so I don't think she's leaving the nest any time
soon.  My advice, "Don't choose them for their bodies.  When they turn 65,
they look like Dad."  Actually, Dad is pretty curte for a short bald guy,
but as our older  daughter, whose first horrid husband was gorgeous, says,
"You forget really quickly what they look like."

For horses, I do think correct conformation is a good thing, but I'd take
temperment over gorgeous any day.

Nancy
