    All horses have conformational issues. You will search a life time trying to find the correct horse. How about "researching" how to compliment horses with conformational issues with your farriery.

    It is noted that only Secretariat.....was the most conformation-ally correct horse ever know to exist; but did not beget the same. He did how ever become a good bottom broodmare line.

    what was wrong with his feet? (other than laminitis when he was allowed to get so heavy, cresty-necked, and underexercised)

    In photos I've seen of him when he was a youngster he appeared club-footed on the right fore/left hind (and it could just be the stance in the photo), but in later photos he does not appear club-footed:

    But I have to in order to answer Rick's question. So I'm guessing I should take a good look at secretariat. ;)

    Class Secret was only colt that went on to be a good colt. his fillies were better as broodmares; but not always.

    I was talking about his conformation. Not his progeny.
