Just out of interest, my mare is on the market and was just wondering if anyone could spot anything glaring that buyers might pick up on, thank you!
Conformation CC please!

Shes a lovely sort of mare , Nothing really standing out from me but apart from her neck looking a little long but that could be to do with it also looking a little weak, but that could depend on her age too ? lol
Is she a young mare ?
Her head appears ever so slightly big for the neck but again that could be just a weaker neck .
Possibly being over critical
Shes lovely and good luck with selling her

Thank you! She's 6, wish I didn't have to sell her but I've lost my transport!

High upon a hillside
Is she stood slightly downhill in the pic?
I don't think there's anything wrong with her confo, but looks a little weak on top I think. But if you're using a confo pic in the add, I'd get one where she's standing more square and on the level

That was my thought , or it definitely looks like she is reaching and if you were to take a sequence of photos the next photo wouild be of her stepping forward , OP if you can get her to step back 2 steps for a conformation picture for selling , then I think it would look better .
Again being over critical

May be worth putting the headcollar up a few holes it makes her head appear longer than it probably is. Couldn't you see if anyone local to you has space on their box so you can still compete? I never had transport years ago and still managed to get out and about by sharing a lorry. There may be someone out there who could do with a bit of help towards their petrol bill. Just a thought.

I am on the same yard as OP ans she has tried everything possible regarding sharing transport, just keeps getting let down and is really distraught about selling her.
This mare is a competition horse through and through and thrives on going out and about. . she needs a competition home. It is such a horrible decision to make.
It is a real shame

quite straight through the hindleg, a touch downhill and neck could do with some more muscle but overall a nice looking mare.
her head does look too big for her neck but i think it is the headcollar rather than her conformation.

I agree overall she is a nice stamp of horse, but her neck seems a little weak and her head slightly too big, but I think that she may have moved her head slightly towards the camera which has emphasised this. Also, as others have said the headcollar doesn't help!
I would try and get another photo and ensure she keeps her head in line with the rest of her body rather than turning to look at the photographer! If you have a nice bridle that might be more flattering to her head as well!

Thank you very much for your comments. I have used a showjumping picture for her advert, just wanted to check I wasn't going to get any surprises!
P.S. Does her head look better here?!

heads a bit too big - but agree with others - try a different/better fitting headcollar and see how much of a difference that makes.
Also agree with that her top line condition looks weak, and a little tied in at the knee, front feet look a little too long and maybe a bit boxy - however can't tell too much from the photo and maybe they're standing out with the hoof oil ;-)
saying that - I'd buy it! lovely looking mare in her coat quality, kind face, and I'm guessing thats her in the piccies - so obviously very talented and able
