Based on the second picture, I'd say he looks really nicely put together.

The first picture is less appealing - which is to do with him lacking condition and muscle, and the placing of your saddle being poor. I thought at first they were different horses.....

I'd say he could probably turn his hand to anything.

He's lovely.

I can't see anything from the photos which would prevent him from being a good jumper, but even if you look at horses competing at the very top levels you will see some with pretty 'poor' conformation.

If you know he enjoys xc and has a nice temperament then correct schooling should ensure he can jump to a reasonable level at least

If he goes over the fence and enjoys it, I wouldn't worry about anything else.

But of course an instructor will be able to help you with your technique, and his.
