A Little Humor. - Page 1

That's not even a joke, its fact.

Horses have not escaped the show disease tho, what cruel things they do to show horses would make most normal people ill.

Here's the equine version of your SL gsd issues

Not saying you're wrong, just look at how overly muscled show Quarter Horses are, especially the halter class but that picture is photoshopped.

Look at the tail you can see where they couldn't crop out the "other" picture from in between the tail hairs.

I'm not seeing where you think this is photoshopped.
If it is, not sure why anyone wouldnt Photoshop those hind legs. Those are awful and will not place in a class, even with the extreme standards in the AQHA halter ring.

Look down at the very tip of the tail, you can see it there.

Without knowing where you got the picture, couldn't say why someone photo-shopped a horse to look like that. A joke?

On mobile so it all looks grainy.
I had pulled this off of a breeders site a while back, so I doubt it was done as a joke.

I have seen horses built like that. They do exist. When they move, they are very stilled and are very rough. They don't stay sound, as they break down in hocks, and stifles. Fact is they suffer from upward fixation of the petella, or locked stifle.
There is so much over muscling that the ligaments and tendons are pulling everything too tight...the exact opposite to the gslgsd with loose ligaments and over angulation.
There is a condition like this that dogs also suffer from where the joints are too straight.

Well, there's your answer. Wouldn't be the first time a breeder has mucked about with images on a website.

As for what they were trying to accomplish with a horse looking like that, I can't speak to because I've never been into Quarter Horses and halter showing. Maybe it's something as innocent as they had the picture of that yearling on a less desirable background, looked to move it to a better background and just botched the photo-shop job. But that horse does not go with that background.

 

Oh no doubt there are horses who look along those lines and that horse's pasterns are painful to look at, which has nothing to do with photo-shop.  What they do for halter classes is obscene.   I'm not going to grab a picture and put it up here for finger pointing but all you have to do is google Quarter Horse yearling halter classes and wha lah.
