I don't know who needs to hear this, but I just found the loveliest Etsy shop with original art of all kinds of birds and sea creatures. She's only ever had 15 sales, and she sends the NICEST thank-yous for orders.
Check her out and be order #16: https://t.co/B9Bji7cteZ
A thread rating the jockeys in every horse racing emoji:

Soft hands, eyes up, nice line from bit to elbow. Rider has slipped into a chair seat, likely because he is riding without stirrups. If horse stops he will fall. Saddle slipped back, poor fit? 5/10
That's all our conformation critiques for today, folks, but tune in tomorrow and I'll give an equitation critique to the riders in every jockey emoji, like this guy bravely attempting No Stirrup November on the racetrack.

This cute foal has unfortunately been born with an extremely short neck, more reminiscent of a cow than a horse. Appears alert and playful despite what looks like a recent break in both hind cannon bones. Charming, give her a chance as a companion. 3/10

Extremely large head. If not for tiny ears I would suspect this is a mule. Nice short back, but haunches underdeveloped. Possibly a weanling in an awkward phase. Pasterns and fetlocks appear abnormal, suggest radiographs before purchase. Turn out to grow up. 3/10

Believe it or not, this horse's lack of eyes may not limit athletic performance. Many blind horses do well under saddle. However, the missing right hindlimb will severely limit potential for soundness even as a companion. Discuss euthanasia with vet. -20/10

Very concerned about this horse. He appears to be missing several lumbar vertebrae and an old injury to the gaskin has healed improperly, leaving left rear leg bent at an unnatural angle. Appears comfortable, but likely only pasture-sound. 1/10

At last, some performance potential. Bright, alert eye, well-proportioned head and neck, good impulsion, and substantial heartgirth. Narrow-breasted, may be prone to shoulder lameness if worked over fences. Shows potential for English Pleasure. 9.5/10

Here we see the opposite spinal problem, lordosis, or "sway back." Common in senior horses, but this animal appears youthful, so likely a congenital defect. Very heavy on the forehand. Smiling, should have good temperament. Suggest as companion only. 4/10

This horse appears to have a severely roached back, also known as kyphosis. This genetic condition may not impair performance, but will make saddle fit a challenge. However, large haunch suggests powerful movement. Possibly suitable for cowhorse sports. 2/10
