Wow, when I was showing Arabs, Park Horses didn't go this big and these are English pleasure horses. How times have changed. To my taste, just looking at photos mind you, I love the Grey horse, he is more out with good solid movement and not strange looking behind. A lot of times these hustled big moving horses lose the rear end or go in an odd timing and out behind. You can see it in a couple of these pictures. Anyway they are gorgeous horses and put on a good show.
Dianne,
The Park horse's have been getting more spastic looking each year front feet near their ears, and as you noted back ends a block away. The half Arabians as lest have some size/bulk and bridle and carry them selves for the most part. But the few Purebred Park horses truly look like they are in the middle of a seizure. Dashing forward, legs pumping all akimbo, eyes rolling like a gut shot buck.
That there are so few Purebred Park horses, I think is a credit to the change in the thinking of the industry. If they had had that idea for them back in the day's of ginger and fire extinguishers there would be a lot of crippled by the pound horses for sale. The really balanced talented few are bred that way, not made.
