F Score
Primary score which does not score leggy horses well
G Score
Used to identify the leggier horses and determine if they are better than the F score suggests
A score
G score combined with the angle.
Introduction
The biomechanics score is calculated from a side on photo of the horse
The points used are:
The bottom of the girth to the ground ( leg)
The bottom of the girth to the middle of the wither (girth)
The middle of the wither to the front of the scapula (shoulder)
A line through the mid section of the neck ( neck)
From the eye to the mid shoulder ( length of neck)
From the eye to the point of the ilium ( scope )
From the point of the scapula to the hip (CTH)
From the point of the hip to mid wither ( HTS)
From the top of the quarter to the hock (Hind leg)
The bottom of the girth to the middle of the wither (girth)
The middle of the wither to the front of the scapula (shoulder)
A line through the mid section of the neck ( neck)
