Conformation analysis in Jumping Horses

Conformation analysis in Jumping Horses

An examination of the top eventers from the World Equestrian Games in Tryon (North Carolina) shows a definite trend towards jumping blood, and blends rather than purebreds. Although there were pure Thoroughbreds in the competition, their numbers are decreasing over time, yet the Thoroughbred influence is still relevant based on these results. Interestingly, the top 10 all have jumping blood, not dressage blood.
