Do your worst.. critique my donkey!

[showjump2003]

Sorry, it had to be done! Had both ages and neither age going anywhere. I think I'm aware of most their faults so no worries about upsetting me lol!

 

[fizz-tally]

im rubbish at this but i do like them both lol

 

[gemz666]

im no good at these things but your horses look great i personaly cant pick any faults

 

[icestationzebra]

I like both of them - they are gorgeous... only one thing I would change..... cutting several inches off the bottom of their tails

Sorry !

 

[annie02]

Do you want an honest critique? I have gone to many clinics on this stuff...its a little hard from these pictures. Remember that some of this is breed specific and I have concentrated on warmbloods.

 

[Ferdinase514]

Both gorgeous

 

[showjump2003]

Noooooo, I love long tails lol!

Seriously, be honest, I am not one to get offended lol! I don't show or anything, they are just my happy riding club pets!

 

[JaneMBE]

The dun, well, looks bleedin awful, I think you should give to me to look after............

bootiful, all of them

 

[Malibu]

i think they are adorable! I should really know more about equine conformation but anyone wants to know about dogs conformation then just ask, i have a few certificates, but really they look gorgeous and sweet and i LOVE how you dont care, thts the right attitude, if it is not effceting their health then who cares, , you still love them!

i love pics 2, 3 and 6!
what are their names?

 

[annie02]

They are both beautiful. Their coats, manes and tails look healthy.

The bay is well put together in the front. In the bottom 2 pictures the bay is standing square in front with the front legs placed well under the shoulders with a good slope in the shoulders.( the top picture doesnt show this but I think it is how the horse is standing). The hind quarters are a little weak, you would want more bone and muscle. It also appears that the legs are set to far apart behind. The neck is a good size and joins to the withers well. The horse has boots on but it appears the cannon bones are in good portion to the legs, not to long. The back is a nice size for the legs and body mass. Beautiful head and face. I would take this pony home!

The second is much better in the hind end. Very square and a good slope in the hocks. The neck could be a little longer and larger to be in proportion to the body. Again a beautiful face and markings. The dapples indicate the horse is healthy. The front end of this horse is set a little to far under itself(at least the top to pictures indicate this) The boots make it hard to tell about the lower leg but what I can see shows a good size cannon bone for the size of the horse. The back seems proprotioned to the body. I would also take this one home in a hurry!

There is a quick summary, hard from pictures but a general critique. Any specific questions PM me

Thanks Annie, that was really interesting. Definatly agree about my bays bum not being that strong although she jumps like a stagg! lol.

Any guesses on age and breed?!

 

[Evadiva1514]

They look lovely, but especially love your little dun, shes beautiful!!

 

[fizz-tally]

bay has a nf look about her,prob not lol
dun looks like my friends arab x connie

 

[Baggybreeches]

I dont usually like duns but yours is gorgeous. Hard to tell from photos but would probably stand up well in WHP at county standard, the bay is a nice type (what I would call a slightly old fashioned type) he looks like he might have some hackney in him (the weak back), this probably is where his huge jump comes from.
If I was buying I would seriously consider both of them good purchases.

ETS The dun is deffo connemara,beautiul wide head. The bay HackneyxSecC

 

[showjump2003]

Really? I don't have a clue with reguards to showing, she has done 3 very small local shows in the whole time I have had her! These are the pics I got from the show with her this summer.

I have no idea on her breed at all as I bought her as a 4 year old off a dealer for £900 years ago.

The bay however I do know the breeding. She is arab x section D.

 

[Blizzard]

They are both beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous, I love the dun!

 

[siennamum]

Your dun reminds me very muchof a are I sold a number of years ago now. That was a Dutch wb x connie.
I'd say yours is a pb welsh D. She is rather stuffy in her neck to show very successfully, and like the bay, rather downhill. Both look really useful though, I especialy like your bay, she's very smart.

 

[GTs]

Are they pregnant?

 

[showjump2003]

haha Are you saying they are fat! lol

 

[Baggybreeches]

 

[Kezza]

the dun is lovely and looks well put together and certainly up my tree. The bay is not my cup of tea but also lovely.

 

[wizzi901]

all terrible you definately need to rehome all of them........................to me, especially 2nd bay down!!!

Lovely horses!!

 

[showjump2003]
