Hey Mango, no, I wasn't talking about that filly. She looks OK at a first glance. I couldn't comment on her conformation off a video ... I'd need to see her in the flesh to pass judgement on that (and even then it's only my opinion).
I was referring to the first post about buying a broodmare. I'd never buy one sight unseen, even if it was on the other side of the world. I just think the conformation of a mare is very important.
As for our yearling, interest in him seems to have been quite good ... but it's hard to know if that's because of the video. And there are always plenty of tyre-kickers who have no intention of buying. Sale day is judgement day.
And buster, I don't equate size to poor conformation ... I was talking more about a mare that might be offset at the knee, bad hocks, etc. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule ... but I think you're putting the odds in your favour if you have a mare that is 'correct'.
