Collocation between Conformation score and Breeders Report?

Post by StarLite »

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knew if there is any relation between a horses conformation score and their breeders report?
I'm just wondering because I have some horses with a movement score of under 60 with a green movement and others with a movement score of over 60 without a green movement on their breeders report.
An example of one without a green movement is:
http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1901686
Speed 21
Strength 33
Stamina 37
Balance 32
Movement 65
Agility 17
Tempo 36
An example of one with a green movement is:
http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1825555
Speed 20
Strength 26
Stamina 40
Balance 23
Movement 59
Agility 15
Tempo 28
Is a colored stat on the breeders report just a random chance? If not what determines a colored stat? Are mares scored differently? Also which is better for showing a high confirmation score or a colored stat on the breeders report?
Let me know if you have any thoughts on the subject,

I'm also wondering why is that that way ... I also had a lot of horses with Movement score 60+ and they didn't had a green or gold score even if their breeders report could be.

The breeder's report is the combination of the genes the horse carries AND ALSO the conformation the horse has.

Look at it this way: a Log Pulling body build can still be good at racing, not great, because their body isn't built right, but they could still show a talent for it. This would be the type of genetics they have (it would likely also appear in the breeder's report of a strong speed skill even being green), but the conformation for racing would be rather poor (speed conformation number may be 25 or lower, but I'm just offering a round number).

Likewise, a high conformation number in any stat that you may need for a particular competition, doesn't necessarily mean that the horse is talented (has the genes) for it.

So the breeder's report and the conformation numbers do go hand in hand, but whereas they will benefit each other, conformation (body build) is only the latter half of the equation and not beginning and end of it.

Does this make better sense now?

So in other words the breeders report is the aptitude a horse has, while the conformation score is the horses physical capabilities.

That appears to be a good way to look at it. Yes.
