no good at cc but have to say she is lovely and i love the straight lines on that clip!! I would say she looks a nice type if you want full CC then you need front and back pics aswel!

I am really itching to say its back end could do with being bigger and more in proportion to the front but i will retrain. oops to late. :D Sorry OP ignore me. If you read my very long current post you will understand. :)

It is a lovely horse tho!
 
Ok, I am NOT an expert, but here goes..

Overall, I think he looks fab! Just my type, although looks like he has the ability to be 'strong'.

Beautifully set on neck, well muscled ('strong'), possibly a touch thick through the gullet.

Decent shoulder, strong chest. Generally strong through back and croup, nice depth of girth.

Front pasterns look like they could be a little upright? NF fetlock looks slightly puffy. Possibly also slightly tied in under the knee. Good short cannons.

Not the best photo to show the back end, looks a little straight hocked but could well just be the photo! Can't really see definition of the gaskin but again think that's photo related.

And very shiny and well looked after :D

Thank you! :D

I'd agree with pretty much all of what you've said! She is very slightly pigeon toed which i think is her main weakness.

This photo does indeed make her look more straight hocked than she really is!

Thanks, nice to know what others can spot! :D
 
Actually, T_O_D I agree with you - though that's less conformation and more condition I think. Lovely horse. I won't comment too far on conformation as she looks pretty "right" to me, which means in my head there's nothing majorly wrong. But I'm not expert and the subtleties may be lost on me :)
 
Conformationally from what i see in the picture she looks nicely put together, but i agree with T.O.D, she does look like her back end could do with a bit more muscle.
She looks all up front, does she ride a bit on the forehand ?
Lovely looking girly :)

Thank you, i'd actually never noticed it before which is exactly why i wanted some comments! Gives me something to work on!

Yes she is a little on the forehand at times, but improving a lot recently so we're heading in the right direction i think :)
 
It actually looks less front heavy in the first pic but i think thats because she is stretching down making her neck look leaner and longer.

The ridden picture is at a funny angle but she does look very on her forehand. TBH its not her fault heavier types do tend to naturally work on their forehand more than say a finer warmblood would. You want to try to do work with her that will help her pick herself up, lots of upward transitions.
