What are the positive and negatives about cow-hocked horses,and horses that are in at the knee?

Some horses have very good conformation and some have their bads. Like in at the knee, cow-hocked, pigeon toed,and so on. Please answer me this question. Can horses that are cow-hocked/in at the kness still show and win more than a horse with perfect conformation?

  1. They sure can win as long as you train them and show them to their potential. In a confirmation, halter, or model horse their will be no winning though. Some horses carry themselves well with with conformational un correct legs. I cant say its going to win more, its all up to the owner, the trainer and the rider to make that horse look good. If the horse is really badly cow hocked ect, there may be some visual issue, but like I said its all in the training.
