Definition: A horse that stands narrower at the base of its legs and then widens as the legs attach to the chest is said to be base narrow. Horses like this may be predisposed to unsoundness because the horse's weight is carried to the outside of the hooves. The horse will also be more likely to injure itself by brushing.
Pronunciation: b â s n â r ō
Examples:
Even though the pony was base narrow and had a lot of other conformation faults, it was quiet and was a good child's pony.
