strong and energetic

Question
hello, just looking at a horse from front, rear and side view, how can i say that that particular horse looks strong and energetic? what all body parts should i observe?

Answer
First, look for balance in the horse. He should almost look like a bit of a rectangle.
There are books and many articles and DVDS on horse conformation, but obvious faults will just make it harder for the horse to do his job and to stay sound for you.

I think to go into detail about all of the factors considered in judging horse conformation would be beyond the scope of the room in this format, but suffice to say that the structure of the hoof takes precedence, then the angle and conformation of the legs, and then consider the rest of the horse.

Strength is dependent on conformation, but also very much on the condiitoning and feed and knowledge of the person managing the horse. Energy also depends on the care of the horse, and  training. Poor training can "shut a horse down", and make him less responsive to the forward aids of the rider.
