I am fascinated by the way you can assess a horse by looking at his eye and wrinkles around the eye as well as shape. Here is the first of my posts on this information.
flight risk
In the pasture or in the stall, this gelding has a slightly alarmed look. His outlook on the world is one of concern, even though he is a superior athlete. RIGHT: The angular shape of the horse’s eye and the excessive wrinkles above it indicate this horse is often worried and on the lookout for predators. It takes a skilled rider to overcome this horse’s mental obstacles.
Kirkville Horses (flight risks)
Tuko - sold as a "bucker".... and new owner is thrilled with this horse
as he uses Tuko for a work horse
to train others; also the new owner is a reining cow horse trainer so Tuko gets to work
every day and owner keeps him for his own horse. Lucky Tuko!
He loves him!
Ziggy
Ziggy - is Mantracker's horse we purchased from Qu'Appelle many years
ago. This horse is athletic and has great breeding lines. He will take off
on you if you are not skilled to slow him down. So we consider him
a flight risk but a great horse when work needs to be done.
