What do you all think of this 4y.o?

 

[peterthepony]

Have you got any shots of him from behind and in front?

 

[Ferdinase514]

His neck looks weak...but is that a baby thing? (Dont Like to be over critical)

also his hocks look a little straight.

 

[severnmiles]

No, none! He has a nice chest.

 

[Doreys_Mum]

He has rather short bones between his 'knee' and 'ankles' and he still has some growing to go ass wise...

But other than that he looks okay

 

[peterthepony]

He looks quite weak, but yes he is only 4, from what i can see he looks to have a good matching sloping shoulder and hooves, his hocks do look a little straight but shouldnt cause that much of a problem!

Hmmmmmm, he does look a bit weak - is he in work at the moment? There's something about his limbs that I don't like but I can't put my finger on it. He's a little upright in his shoulder and back at the knee. What does he move like?

 

[KatB]

I like him. He's got a lovely eye, a nice shoulder, and nice short cannon bones. he's got alot of filling out to do, but he looks like he "matches". Only fault is he is slightly upright, but that really doesnt bother me! Who is he??!

 

[severnmiles]

That was taken over a year ago..that probably gives it away. Just wondering what you all thought of him...

 

[severnmiles]

He moves really nicely, pics makes his pasterns look thick I think but its actually hair.

 

[KatB]

Oohhh, is it one of the PAVO superstars.....???

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Can't really tell much from the photos. really need to see him move. He certainly isn't in work at the moment because he's got very little muscle. I would imagine he'll fill out nicely with the right feed & work & once he's fit & filled he'll look a totally different horse. At 4 he's still got some growing to do aswell.

Oh I like!!! He's a little upright and lacking in topline, but a) that wouldn't bother me, b) topline is alterable. He has great short cannon bones and a short back and long underside. Look really athletic! Who is it?

 

[Nickymac]

It's not with Louise Skelton now is it?!

 

[JACQSZOO]

Goodness me I had too look twice at those pictures - I thought someone had nicked my horse!

 

[vicijp]

I like him, but...
When he fills out hes going to have a lot of top for not a lot of bone.

 

[monica123]

aww...he looks lovely...

 

[severnmiles]

I knew someone would guess! That was taken when I rode him last Dec.

 

[trelawnyhorses1]

wow he looks fantastic now!!!! shows what time, the correct work and feed can do for a horse!!!

 

[Evadiva1514]

What a sweet little chap... just goes to show how much they can change in a year with work etc etc!!

 

[Ferdinase514]

Bloody hell...wouldn't have thought it was the same horse!

 

[LEC]

Having seen that great big muscley creature in the flesh I cannot believe that picture is of the same horse! He looks and not mean't to be rude really mediocre in the photo and I know for a fact he is not like that now!

 

[AmyMay]

Ooo, nice little horse. Lovely short cannon bones in front. Maybe a little straight through his hocks - but that's being hyper-critical.

Like him very much, and he looks like he'll mature in to a lovely horse.

edt: Just seen your other post with him competing - Lovely!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nickymac]

Is he the one for sale (or that's just been sold)? So he's five - how many points has he got etc? And how much????

 

[burtie]

I like the look of him, very lacking in muscle and topline, but very solidly put together. Personally I don't like to see a 4 year old too well muscled as I'd worry about how much they had done! He looks not hugely different form my 3 year old in shape.

 

[severnmiles]

Just been sold to Brighton for 15k, bit cheap Des thought. She's keeping his brother though.

I don't think he has any points yet, he's had a few novice runs but he'd done nothing before the start of this year so he's doing well.
