Glad I'm not the only one who looks at the shoulder. :p
My first thoughts very nice shoulder, should mature nicely and look better when muscled up.
Nice kind eye and judging from the picture very long ears - a sign of intelligence I believe.

Ohh and needs a bath!:D:D:D:p
 
She looks lovely, maybe a bit light of bone for an ID though? I've seen lots by Huntingfield Rebel, he certainly is a very good stallion. And they are very helpful at Cappa Stud.

Cappa Stud are wonderful, I've never even contemplated ID's until seeing this mare online, and they've been really helpful by sending tons of information.

I'll be buying unseen :eek: so thought I'd get as many opinions on the mare as I can.

Oh gosh, that's scary! I'd go and have a look but I'm not at all close to Cappa! Well all I can tell you is of all the shows I've seen his offspring at I've never seen any badly behaved. My favourite is The Forger, a LW cob champion he is the most sensible and stunning cob I have ever seen, also moves beautifully and this horse seems to aswell from the video. Huntingfield Rebel doesn't have much bone for an ID either actually. I've seen it recorded at 21.5cm :eek:

She does look very, very nice though. Make sure you get a good deal because the market is really terrible here, especially heading into the winter with high hay prices.

There are quite a few " lighter" IDs now. If you look at old pictures of say Clover Hill v Huntingfield Rebel they look quite different. Mare is also slightly at an angle so would run up lighter in the photo.

I like her but (!) would just want some better/clearer photos of her feet and pasterns as they don't look great in the photos but tbf, think it is the photo but would double check if you are not seeing her in the flesh.
 
OK, I've been chatting to you about this mare privately, but these are clearer pics so here goes; I really like the sire, have seen many nice ones by him (and have ridden him too, as a judge). She is light in muscle as an unbroken 4 year old, and has a good body and nice shoulder angle. Her neck is a tad short, as is her croup, which also has a bit steeper angle than I like personally (could live with it, 'tho). Feet are Ok from what can be seen, pasterns are typically a bit short/steep (ID style), BUT she seems to be tied in below the knee. I'd also prefer a bit more meat in the gaskin area, and a tiny bit more angle in the stifle. None of this would put me off her 'tho, if all else was right. Oh, and haggle! The market is in tatters here....
