I got Premium which now I can check Shadows conformation. I wrote down some notes... lmk if you think she would sell for a high price

Head & Neck Conformation

Face Profile: Convex/Roman
The ideal face profile is about mediam however a heavy head can inhibit speed, stamina agility and tempo while being advantageous to strength.
+10 balance, +8 agility, +6 tempo, +8 speed, +3 strength, +6 stamina

Face Length: Long
A slightly shorter face can enhance agility while a slightly longer face can be advantageous to balance. Stamina is enhanced with a long face.
+9 balance, +3 agility, +1 stamina

Jowl: Shallow
A thick jowl can hinder movement by restricting flexion at the poll. A heavier head, influenced by a thick jowl, can be advantageous to agility.
+3 agility, +7 movement

Neck Length: Short
A longer neck can enhance speed, while a shorter neck can ehnance strength. A medium neck is ideal for agility and balance.
+11 balance, +12 agility, +1 speed, +4 strength, +8 stamina, +3 movement

Shoulder & Barrel Conformation

Withers/Shoulder Angle: Sloped
Sloping shoulders increase a horses range of motion which is advantageous to movement and, to a lesser degree, tempo.
+6 tempo, +11 movement

Point of Shoulder: Low
The point of shoulder helps determine the slope of the shoulders in combination with the withers. A lower point of shoulder increase the overall slope of the shoulder which is ideal for tempo, stamin and movement.
+2 tempo, +8 stamina, +5 movement

Rib Cage: Shallow
Well sprung ribs are ideal for stamina as it can help increase a horses lung capacity by allowing more room for the lungs to expand.
0 stamina

Depth of Flank: Shallow
A deep flank is ideal for stamina as it helps to increase the lung capacity while a shallow flank can be better for speed.
0 speed, +1 stamina

Back, Haunches & Legs Conformation

Hip Angle: Sloped
Flatter haunches enhances movement and to a lesser degree, balance. A sloping haunch enhances strength and balance.
+7 balance, 0 strength, +3 movement

Hip Length: Long
A long hip is ideal for creating the power necessary for speed and strength.
+11 speed, +8 strength

Leg Thickness: Thin
Thick legs are advantageous to strength and balance but could decrease speed.
+3 balance, +8 speed, 0 strength

Stifle Placement: Forward
A forward placed stifle is ideal for agility while a set back stifle is ideal for movement.
+5 agility, +3 movement

Back Length: Short
A slightly longer back is advantageous for tempo and balance, while a slightly medium to slightly shorter back is ideal for strength and agility.
0 balance, +12 agility, 0 tempo, +8 strength, +5 stamina

Croup Height: Downhill
A downhill built is advantageous to speed while an uphill build is advantageous to strength and movement. A level build is ideal for agility and tempo.
+5 agility, +1 tempo, +7 speed, +1 strength, +1 movement


So the beginning of the conformation is what they are measuring on Shadow, then when I wrote the ":" after that was the Downhill or short for example, that is what Shadow is and the description below is what a good horse would have. Unfortunately Shadow doesn't fit all the requirements for a good Thoroughbred but just lmk if you think she is at least ok. Also lmk if you would like me to check one of your horses conformation for free anytime!!
