The average measurements of breeding stallions at the studs (in cm) are: height withers 163, oblique body length 172, chest girth 215, cannon bone girth 25; mare: 160, 168, 205 and 22.75 respectively.
To paint a picture of the injury, a popped splint occurs where the splint bone lies against the cannon bone.
Legs are clean and well proportioned and the cannon bone girth is larger than that of other horses. Deliboz is characterized by unstable temperament and predominantly rack (or pace) gait.
4 cm (cannon bone circumference) and for breeding mares are 160.3 cm, 163.6 cm, 186.2 cm and 20.1 cm. In appearance the Orlov is markedly a driving horse, characterized by a big head, large expressive eyes, and a long and naturally arched neck.
The breed differs from other Iberian horses, particularly in characteristics such as the appearance of the back and the length of the pasterns and cannons.

The Konik has a low-set body. It has a large chest and a cannon-like circumference. As a whole, the body appears to be rectangular in shape. Most Konik horses are mouse-colored. Most of them, too, have stripes on their back.
They have clearly defined tendons, good joints and short, strong cannons. The bone measurement, which is 7-8 inches is more than sufficient in relation to the built. The Kabardin's hindlegs are often sickle-shaped, an advantage in a mountain horse.
The measurements (in cm) of the purebreds recorded in volume IV of the studbook are: stallions: height at withers 156, chest girth 175, cannon bone girth 20; mares: 151, 178 and 19 respectively.
