Now, if you mean the "One white foot, buy 'em, two white feet, try 'em, three white feet be on the sly, four white feet pass 'em by" then that is not a good way to pick a horse.
If you mean whether the horse has good, sound feet, An old, wise saying goes "No foot, no horse." This is perhaps the wisest thing ever said. If a horse is lame, he can't do anything but virtually eat every last dime of yours. You want a horse with good hooves, and good conformation.
So, you asked "Why would it be important to judge a horse's feet rather than the body?" It is important to judge the feet, but it's just as important to judge the rest of the body also. If the horse has poor conformation, he is more open to injuring himself, so the rest of the body is just as important as the feet.
tractors are nice. But if you would rather farm a 8000 acre field with some horses get at man.
The horses. That duck's bill would be a sight to behold...
You would expect older horses, waiting while a judge judges you all on your performance and your horses overall health
Because they would get tire of walking during the battle sothey had horses
Mongols in their marauding expansionist hay day would say horses. If asked they would probably still say that horses are of primary importance.
The was the judge that determined if you would be passed into the afterlife
Horses were important to the Mongols because it was a way for them to get from on place to another. They would ride into a village, take what they wanted, then leave very rapidly to avoid being killed.
This would have been done mostly if they were travelling to an unknown place. Horses would provide transport and food, where as slaves would have needed food which would have taken up more cargo room. Horses can forage for food in most anyplace and if they became lame or injured could be killed for food, leather, and other provisions.
They would judge them by how good they were at certain things like whether they got scared by the noise of swords and how east they were at running and there temper
Horses were vital to life in the 13 colonies. They provided transportation, a way to haul goods, entertainment, a means of income from breeding / selling, and in particularly hard times could even be a food source, though they would have been the last animal on the farm / colony to be eaten as they were vital to life.Remember, the world would not be what is is today if it were not for the horse.
Their immune system is important because without it they would die of bacteria infesting it. Same thing with all living things.
In divorces in Florida, the Judge is supposed to make his decision on what is in the best interest of the child. The judge would check with a social worker. If the child is a six year old, the judge would listen to the social worker who would have interviewed the child in private. Many six year old children are smart enough to give the answer they think the adult wants them to give rather than tell the way they really feel. The six year old tries to please the adults around him so he can survive. In his value system, surviving is far more important than telling the truth. An adolescent would expect the judge to listen to him. He would explain his reasons and would probably get his way.
