As no one has responded yet I'll have a go. Can't really tell from this pic but nothing major is leaping out at me, she has a sweet face. Little on the porky side!

Ok, I know nowt about confo, but will have a go!

Maybe because she is hogged but she looks quite long in the neck, quite an upright shoulder, and her back feet look a little odd.

Lovely face though!

they aren't great photos tbh, she needs to be stood up properly and photographed exactly from 90 degrees to her middle (!!) it does make a difference as even the slight change of angle can make the hindlegs look too straight, the front legs look as if they're stuck out in front of her (as these do a bit), etc etc. for instance she's turning her left hind out quite badly in the 2nd photo, and also a bit in the first photo, but this might not look the same if she was standing up properly in hand tbh.
sorry, hope that helps a bit.

Thanks for replies - will try and get some better pictures.

She is quite long all over I think - not just her neck! Will try and get some more pics that are a bit better

Thanks

Like others have said not a great pic, but she looks very nice, just a bit of a belly on her! She reminds me very much of my old mare, what's her breeding?

She is welsh D x anglo arab. She has had 2 foals and has only in the last few months started doing any regular work for the first time in her life

I do know the belly is there - I am constantly aware of it (you can't exactly miss it!) and trying to do as much work as possible with restricted grazing as much as possible to get rid of it.
