Develop 'an eye for a horse'. Applying Levering to
the Racehorse. The book explains: the technicalities
of how conformation levering applies to the racehorse;
the rules that determine levering traits, & then in
further 'easy to understand' terms, the unique levering
traits of varied racehorse types such as sprinters,
stayers, jumpers etc. Furthermore it discusses how
levering relates to ability, distance gearing, yearling
selection, traditional conformation, performance,
breeding, stride length/type, racing conditions, etc..
With the many contradictions involved with the
standard text book conformation, the author has set
about researching many facets of equine conformation
from scratch. This has been accomplished with software
specifically developed for the purpose of not only
identifying desired traits, but further analyzing the
not so perfect traits, that often provide hidden
benefits. The book is not about Veterinary, straight
conformation, or the classic text book show horse.
Quote from racing magazine "Ross Brunt’s take on
conformation is like a breath of fresh air. Sometimes
controversial, but never bland, his articles in
'Breeding&Racing' are among the most popular &
well received. Capable of cutting through hyperbole to
simple mechanics in layman’s terms, Brunt has combined
his years of analysis to produce an excellent
publication.” “Equine Conformation for the Racehorse is
a treasure-trove for both new & seasoned buyers
alike, & a publication every trainer should have in
their office.” “Brunt’s book clearly demonstrates that
when it comes to conformation one can’t make a silk
purse from a sow’s ear.” – Breeding&Racing magazine.
