On this one -

I'm assuming this is a youngster?
V. nice confo.

 

[quirky]

No CC, but looks familiar.
Is it a mare or gelding?

 

[Mithras]

4 years old gelding, King of Diamonds bloodlines, thanks.

Like the look of it from this picture - got any more? How big, what are you aiming for in terms of future prospects etc?

 

[black_horse]

we have a king of diamonds horse on our yard, its not very ridable and has a dodgy stiffle.....

you you have any better pictures....

 

[Mithras]

I have just bought him! No more pics yet. He is 16.2 and hope he will make a jumper and if not he will do some showing but at least make a nice horse!

Nice baby, standing slightly "camped under" which may be contributing to slightly upright shoulder. Lovely reach of neck sweet head and great butt but needs a bit of muscle on gaskin. Nice compact back - has a bit of growing to do, I would think. Ask me again in 3 years when he is matured. KoDs are in almost every pedigree in Ireland - he was a great SJ sire.

 

[Jesstickle]

Oo, he's lovely Mithras. Good choice

Phew, he's a bit big for me so I can stop coveting

 

[Ranyhyn]

He's really nice and intouch is right KOD/CH covers just about everything out of ireland

I think the camped under hindquarters is just the angle/pic. My gelding has slightly camped under hindquarters and this confo fault doesn't hold him back!

Haven't critiqued him heavily on muscle - he's still a baby - wouldn't worry about under developed gaskin (biceps femoris) - he will develop that over time, as well as his hindquarters, they need work.

King of Diamonds - my horse's distant grand grand grand grand sire (lol) - very nice stallion, although I prefer Clover Hill, not that I'm biased as my boy is one....

 

[Lady La La]

Lovely looking chap, I hope you enjoy him.

 

[Mithras]

Thanks all, yes he is underdeveloped at the gaskin and isn't standing too well. I doubt he will be a top level jumper but you never know! I bought him because he was very rideable and has a really good temperament, and I don't think he is a horse I will have problems with!

No point repeating! LOL

Nice looking horse, I had a KOD mare once who was very sharp and, thanks to a previous owner, a complete baggage! Hopefully your boy will be a lot nicer

Not experienced enough to offer a good CC but he is lovely, nice and compact. Also I bought mine from same dealer and have found he was just what they said, although he is a very different type to yours. Good luck with him.
