Quote: ANd to complicate the picture further-- size of bone tells you nothing about durability and strength of the leg as a whole. I have 20 year old horses with rock solid clean legs. ANd they are not belgians . . . . THe Dutch spent considerable oney studying the difference between these two factors and they continue to be graded separately in the Dutch Warmblood riding horse.

Thank you to everyone who helped answer my many questions about showing and encouraged us to study our APA SOP. We had a great first show in Barnwell today, learned a lot, and I accomplished my goal of not bringing any birds that would get disqualified

Grey (Cream Legbar) and Lily (Double Laced Barnevelder) both placed first in their breeds, of course they were also the only ones in their breeds lol

I'm still not sure why they put her in the English Class instead of Continental, but Lily was entered into the Junior Show by my DS, and she received this little surprise...

Thank you again to everyone!

You must be thrilled!!

Hi Arielle,
I don't know. I don't weigh them. I just know I am pleased with the size I expect at whatever age I am inspecting them.
If what I expected differed widely, I would weigh them. But that hasn't happened..
Best,
Karen
