Nice looking!

I think his bottom looks a bit scrawny, it falls away from the croup at quite a sever angle. He looks to have very straight and upright back legs, by that I mean he's very straight into his hocks.

Hard to see anything else really, need a complete side on view and then directly behind and directly in front to get anything more critical.
 
nice looking horse there is something about the back feet that i really don't like but i don't know why. maybe i am just so used to how my horses feet look
 
I like having a go at these to see if others agree so without looking at other replies!

I think I like his front end

he looks a bit weak behind his saddle
looks straight through his hock
back feet do seem rather long and flat in comparison to the fronts the way he is standing in the first pic?

thats the bits I picked up on anyway!
 
nice head with good kind eye. neck set on well at chest. good lenght of rein, but slightly upright in the shouder.typical TB type wither. nice deep chest and good depth of girth. top line looks weak but that comes with work/muscle. nice quarters although need more muscle, good jumpers bump. tail set on slightly low. fore limbs look good, with lovely flat knees, and short cannons. hoof pastern axis needs some attention, maybe get your farrier to bring his heels up slightly and shorten his toes, this goes for back feet too. overall, i nice looking horse...
