I am fascinated by conformation and what you should be looking for. I believe understanding conformation can help with training and in understanding what your horse will find difficult and easy.
In my efforts to learn more I have come across the following resources which I have found really interesting.
Judy Wardrope writes excellent pieces about conformation and has several PDFs available on her website. I have linked some of the best. For more information look on www.jwequine.com

This is from the KWPN website on how they judge conformation for grading. Its pretty interesting to see how different aspects of the body are judged.

This is one of my favourite guides to conformation. I even have the PDF saved so I can refer back to it.
