Anyone feel like doing a confo. critique?

[rara007]

It would be much appreciated!

Please tell me the truth , I would really like to know it as we bought him as a pony with a leg at each corner, and he has all ready exceeded all expectations.

If you would like more/different pictures I may have some, I have thousands of action ones a few standing ones.

Thanks for any help

Not great at this but Ill try.
Legs look good with good angles at the fetlock
Nice well set head and in proportion to the body
Nice set nail
good weight

I'm definitely not an expert & also the pictures are a little far away but these are my thoughts:
Attractive pony with a lovely head and neck.
Good, strong quarters - perhaps a slight jumper's bump?
Slightly tubular shape
A little straight in the shoulder
A little bit sickle hocked but otherwise I quite like his limbs - possibly a bit over at the knee but might just be the photos.
But overall a really nice sort of a pony

I am also not good at this, I miss stuff etc. but my first thoughts on seeing him were, I can not see anything bad there -

Neck in right place and developed correctly
Athletic looking and healthy
Lovely back and nice deepish girth
With nicely proportioned legs (not too long in canon)
Takes a saddle with a decent wither.
Very slightly croup high maybe (could be surface)
Good front feet, by the looks of it.
Poss boxy hind feet, (again that could be the surface)
Looks as though he's nice generous nature, by his eye and ears
Can't see width of chest.
Legs look pretty much clean.

My kind of pony! Looks like a good 'un.

Biggest problem is he only has one front leg

Thanks

Thanks- Very helpful.

Looking at him he does have a slight jumpers bump, in this picture he had never jumped, he has now jumped 4 times and I think he could be good at it.

IMO in this picture he was abit overweight, but it was the middle of summer, during my GCSE's. He is now quite abit fitter, but has lost abit of condition too.

His shoulder quite probably is quite straight, as he is hackney,TB welsh mix, which is pretty random.

Thanks- Again from his strange breeding and size being slightly croup high is almost certain I would have thought, although he still managed to engage from behind.

His feet were OK, but then the GB vets said they were effecively not boxy enough, IMO they are too boxy ,and were just going that way in these pictures but its what the GB driving people want so I can't really argue.

As for width of chest, this picture may help

Thanks!

I thought confo. picture meant to have them standing square

. If you look at the top picture, compare to the bottoim the single front leg has grown a sock!
