Does this horse look bum high to you?

[Polos]

I was just scrolling down the forums and saw this ad on the side:

http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/clas.../cheltenham/hunterpotential-event-409050.html

The horse looks lovely but I can't help thinking he looks a bit bum high in the first picture. Is he bum high or am I just being blonde?

 

[Dizzleton]

Yes he definitely is! If you look in the last ridden picture he's really down on the forehand because of it.

 

[Shadow the Reindeer]

He looks like he's left his front legs behind.....

 

[NellRosk]

I was going to post the exact same ad!!! The surface looks flat on the first pic, and I can't imagine him being so croup high at that age and growing to match? Very strange

 

[luckyoldme]

for that kind of money you would think they would get the horse to at least stand up straight for the photo.

 

[JFTDWS]

Very odd. Not sure if I mean the photo, the horse, or both!

 

[Jnhuk]

Def looks like a cut and shut, if he was a car!

 

[webble]

Wow hhe looks about 3 inches bum high in the first pic - could be the pic though

 

[buddy's mummy]

awful conformation!!

 

[ticker]

Looks like some has sawn a chunk off his front legs , very odd build but I do think he is a handsome chap

Hmm link won't open for me

Eta it's loaded now... Woah! Never seen it that bad before!

 

[AmyMay]

Looks positively deformed.

9K is very ambitious..

 

[Goldenstar]

9k seller must be blind or hope the buyers are.
He's seriously croup high and probally not going to even out at rising six.
Poor chap , I hope he makes a lovely horse to do a bit of everything for someone who loves him but 9k not a chance.

 

[SadKen]

He has a nice face and I like his colour. But yes, he's bum high, and I think 9k is an awful lot of cash for anything with conformational problems. I know some don't mature until late (my arabian was 6 and very much still growing) but I think it'd be a big ask to get the front to catch up with the back when it's that much of a difference.

 

[buddy's mummy]

poor horse

 

[luckyoldme]

I think that first photo is taken by someone very fond of the horse who does nt want him sold!

 

[YasandCrystal]

for that kind of money you would think they would get the horse to at least stand up straight for the photo.

Yes I agree - he looks cow hocked and not at all like a £9k horse in that first pic to me.

 

[MissTyc]

My mare grew a hand between age 5 and 8 - some heavier breeds can be verrrry slow to mature. With an extra hand at the withers, this chap would be lovely ... though perhaps not £9k lovely (but I'd rather spend £900 than £9k on a horse so probably don't know what I'm looking at aha).

 

[AdorableAlice]

How much !, bless him, he will never trouble the judge. Maybe the photo's are misleading.

 

[Hoof_Prints]

looks less 'bum high' and more 'front legs short' ! Might look a bit more proportioned if someone stood his front end on a step . Looks a nice honest chap, not 9k nice though... surely it must be a camera error?
