With all due respect, I believe it is indeed all of this - both conformation 
- those deplorably useless hidn ends, crooked hocks and throatlatches so 
narrow as to be useless as well - overly-long backs and  low heels - as well 
as the inexcusably ghastly 'training' methods employed by trainers big and 
small, the big hairs and their sad emulators. Let's not even get INTO the 
etrible commentary today's horses, many of them are on the temperament of a 
dream horse - fiery but gentle, smart as a whip and never needing one!
