This chap is 6 years old and is SJing at 1.10-1.20. He's rather skinny, or rather lacks rather alot of muscle- despite the fact that he's been exercised and competed by a grade A SJer.
What do you think? Please excuse fact that he's standing on a stone... didn't notice

He's not been very well schooled IMO; he's stiff and crooked for a start which I don't think he should be jumping at his level (or perhaps I have very high standards!

) and he goes mainly above the bit. Perhaps that would account for his stringy neck!
 
I like. His neck is set a little low, hence the dip in front of his whithers, this would improve with correct schooling, but will always be a weakness, and could cause downhillness. He is also slightly long in the thigh, which makes his hind legs look a little "behind" him, which wouldnt help with the downhill feel!
However, he has a nice angle on his Hocks, and a decent shoulder, and his neck doesnt look too short in comparison too his back, so although he is slightly long, it shouldnt be a prob as he is generally well balanced. Nice feet, and legs well proportioned. Alot to like, once get over the slight downhillness of him! Alot would be improved with correct topline though. He has a dinky head though!!

I dont like his engine end-it doesnt seem to belong to him. Your not kidding about the lack of muscle though. If he were mine Id be doing some lunging with a chambon and riding him long and low. Apart from the bum, is his back a wee bit too long? It could be lack of muscle again. I quite like him. Whats his name? M.

There looks like there is something weird going on with his hind fetlocks.

I actually quite like his shoulder and I like his shapely back end even if it is a little small.

He does seem to have a long back, however this is slightly compensated by the fact that he also appears to have a long neck too. His back looks in quite nice shape though to be honest.

I don't think he is skinny, I really like his compact barrel.

He looks like he has "dirty legs" though - may just be the picture but it looks like he has lots of nicks on them, although the shape of them isn't bad.

I'm not keen on his feet - they look photoshopped, LOL!!

His head isn't particularly attractive and the most distinguishing feature which jumps out at me is how sad he looks. He seems to have very sad eyes and looks like he needs loving.
