Hi folks. Could you give me your opinions on my 7 month old colts conformation please.

I always like to get an outsiders opinion. Obviously I am biased :)

Planning on taking him to the bef futurity next year x

Also I apologise for the photo being on its side :/ cant fix it from phone

 
Slightly over at the knee and quite an upright neck, but youngsters often look over at the knee and you can correct an iffy head carriage. Lovely legs and feet from what I can see and overall a nice looking chap :)
 
He is a nicely put together colt with a good head and fits nicely into the conventional boxes He looks to have presence if you can tell that from a photo and for a foal has a good shoulder. Hard to tell where he will finish up and how well put together the front is in a side ways picture but I like him a lot wouldn't be too worried if he was slightly toe out at this point would be if he was toe in or too straight and upright

Thank you :) I too think he is very nicely put together with no glaringly obvious faults. I see his sire a lot in him (which is a great thing) he's by mfs vision. He does have a lot of presence and moves beautifully. Very light on his feet with amazing hind leg action! I need to get some videos uploaded x

Agree totally - he has a pleasing look about him - would be great to see him again in a few years.

Please don't be dissappointed when he goes through the ugly yearling phase - sometimes I've looked at mine and wondered why on earth I bought that one and did I really breed that monstrosity!

They go through an ugly duckling stage before turning into the swan.
