Use this simple worksheet for unmounted lessons that challenge Orange Level HorseSense students to identify the conformation of different breed types, using silhouettes of 9 common equine breeds. Includes draft, sporthorse, stock, gaited and pony breeds.
Lots of opportunity for discussion about the conformation goals of various breeding programs — and why form = function!
The printable PDF file includes an illustrated worksheet and an answer key.

We’ve been blessed with many talented photographers over the years: students who voluntarily stood in sweltering/ freezing arenas, capturing lifelong memories of lessons, camps and shows. We’re grateful to all of them!
One former student, Delaney Witbrod, is now a professional photographer with a gift for animal portraits – see more of her fine work here. We’re also grateful for photos of Western riding donated by LLPro instructors – particularly Bit of Pleasure Horse School and Joyful Hearts Photography!
You’ll find illustrations throughout our online courses and printed materials graciously donated by our friend Rhonda Hagy. Evan Surrusco contributes additional illustrations and handles most of our photo processing. Contact us for information about their work.
