Course: Equine Science, Advanced (18104-II) > Section: Judging the Horse

Evaluation should consider

- traits that are unique to the particular breed. (e.g., stock horses are different from Arabians, draft horses, society breeds)
- sex characteristics
  - masculinity (i.e., male traits such as prominence of jaw, heavy muscling, powerful appearance)
  - femininity (e.g., refinement in mares).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What unique breed characteristics are found in Arabians?
- What are breed standards?
- How is the evaluation of both the width and depth of a horse’s chest an important indicator for reproductive and athletic performance?
