Description
This is meant to be a guide for male pony body-types. It is not official in the least, and is not to be distributed or sold. I want it to be used better customize the ponies of the world, and I highly encourage you to play with my designs--after all, its no fun if every OC out there is just some re-color of one of the Mane Six. Please use these to expand, and if you feel like linking back to this page, please go right ahead.Ponies (c) Miz Faust
Below is more information on each body-type.
THIN TYPES: Each thin body-type uses a circle for the chest cavity, and an ellipse for the hindquarters. The chest cavity is usually the same size or smaller than the head, and legs are usually 1.5 to 2 times the chest height.
THICK TYPES: Each thick body-type uses a circle for both the chest cavity and the hindquarters. The chest cavity is usually larger than the head, and the hindquarters may be as large as the skull (not often, though). The legs are usually 1 to 1.5 times the chest height.

The lean body has a straight or slightly concave back. The abdomen is always concave, whether slightly or drastically. Legs are always medium thickness, and more tube-shaped.
