Equine conformation is (one sentence from each sourced paragraph, or whatever MOS wants this week. Do this last)
I recommend that we base the article on some objective judging standard, such as those the warmblood folks use in studbook selection, i.e. create sections by group of body parts such as "Head and neck," "Body" "legs" etc... Create headers as you see fit
Several ways to approach this;
Baird: (Trakehner Assn) "The horse must always be looked at as a single unit, but, for the purposes of discussion, he may be ‘divided’ into the following four sections:
1. The head and neck. 2. The back, including the croup. 3. The shoulders and front legs. 4. The quarters and hind legs." 5. (and gait -- on a later page)
West, quoting Beeman "The Horse" (AAEP 2008)
1. Head, neck, body, and balance; 2. Forelimb (from the top of the scapula, or shoulder blade, to the bottom of the foot); 3. Hind limb (from the top of the croup to the bottom of the foot); 4. Type; and 5. Way of going.

Breeds developed due to a need for "form to function", the necessity to develop certain characteristics in order to perform a particular type of work. [1] Thus, powerful but refined breeds such as the Andalusian developed as riding horses that also had a great aptitude for dressage, [1] while heavy draft horses such as the Clydesdale developed out of a need to perform demanding farm work and pull heavy wagons. [2] Other horse breeds developed specifically for light agricultural work, carriage and road work, various sport disciplines, or simply as pets. [3]
The nitty-gritty here
Put photos here that might be useful in the article, check licensing by the FA standard first, do derived works -- crops, etc., to highlight what's intended:
I know these are (or should be) OK, cause I took 'em!)

Everyone else add their stuff as they can!
General discussion of above article here, to spare creating a talk page too!
One open question is deciding on UK vs US vs Au terms, maybe use all, but in the same order each time(?). The other problem is that even within one dialect, there will be multiple words for the same thing. Thoughts? Montanabw (talk) 05:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm also in favor of cropping full body shots when possible to illustrate a particular defect, (at least if we can all agree on what it is!) though sometimes we may need to show the whole animal for balance. Thoughts? Anyone got photoshop and can do some crops? (I do not, my crops are straight off a jpeg...) Montanabw (talk) 05:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
