The Right Conformation of an Eventer with Judy Wardrope
In 2005, Judy Wardrope wrote an article for the USEA's print magazine Eventing USA. In the article, "The Right Conformation of an Eventer," she details the functional conformation of top eventers Livingstone and Winsome Adante, explaining how the horses differ mechanically and the effect that those mechanics have on their performance. This timeless article is a must-read!
"Good conformation means different things to different people, but to me it means structurally suitable for the job, in this case, a job that entails an aptitude for dressage, an ability over fences, and an efficient, ground-covering gallop. "
