Her conformation was thought to deviate considerably from the ideal. Standing nearly 16 hands she was described as having a very straight, lean head with good eyes, long ears and open nostrils. Her neck was long and light, her shoulders thin and oblique and her brisket deep, however, her chest was narrow and her arms and legs small and her toes alleged to turn out like those of a ballerina. With flat sides and thighs, short back ribs and drooping quarters, her overall appearance was called wiry.
