It's a buckskin, not a dun. That also has a horrid hind end.

There’s a short one on the Facebook page which is Ashwoods Stables, he’s the only bay on there in recent weeks.
They are sending me some more this eve.
Im inclined to forget confo unless it’s missing a leg and go for a good feel and a nice video or whatnot. If I had gone for confo I’d never have had Basil or Boggle. Both amazing animals. ?

True! I still like him
I like him too Michen! But i'm not one to comment on any Confo i'm afraid.
Also my Boyfriend is looking to ban me from this thread - Bay Connies are one of my fave - although my last was a Dun connie x TB and she was perfection!

I quite like the latest bay and the dun. Would want more info and videos of them, and also to see in the flesh.
FWIW, the pictures of my 7yo from his ad made him look awful, did not do him justice at all. The video showed him moving nicely, so I thought I'd go look at him as he was only 15min up the road. What I saw in the flesh was a very different horse to the one in the pics, much nicer!

Here is Boggles predecessor. Horse of a lifetime. Can anyone honestly say you’d have bought him based on the first photo and confo?

I like the bay! I think he looks like a smart compact pony and his hind end is nowhere near as poor as the dun’s.
Like someone has said previously you’re not going to find the perfectly conformed pony and a lot of these youngsters will look better with a bit of muscle.

Video doesn't look bad at all, hopefully the new ones are a bit better quality. I imagine his hind will improve somewhat with work. Go see him!

He’s in Ireland and I know everyone says how cheap it is to get there etc but it’s a few hundred quid at least, I’d rather pay an agent or a vet

Not slacking multitasking
I don’t think there is any point in confo marking up photos that aren’t straight or on a flat surface. It’s fairly meaningless.

I like the bay, think he looks really super - lots of presence. Don’t know how tall the rider in the video is but he makes the pony look tiny though, so I would want pics of him with measuring stick if you were considering buying/vetting unseen (or not ‘unseen’ exactly but just from pics and vids)
Michen

Agree have asked for it. I had Bog measured at vetting they charged 50 euro. Vetting itself was 80 ?.
I think I could get him looking super smart.

I really like the bay. How much is he? Lovely breeding too.
I don’t think he has anything glaringly awful about his conformation. I’d only discount something with major faults that I thought were going to make it lame or difficult to work. Nothing’s perfect.

I also like the bay a lot! I'd be temped to view too.. but again have limited knowledge on conformation.

I like the bay too, nothing glaringly obvious confo wise to me - but I do not have the most experienced eye!

Were you thinking of sending an agent/vet to look and report back? He does look nice and it always helps to have 'that' feeling 
Good luck investigating this chap.

I would avoid sickle hocks like the plague, but it's not clear to me from the photos that the bay has them. They could just be shight photos. I have any number of photos of my horse that make her legs look less straight and correct than they are.
I was going to post a particularly awful one but the damned website won't let me.
I really hate the most recent HHO photo attachment software. It's so unreliable.

My vet is here today so going to see if he knows any reliable vets over there. Would rather tie in a vetting with an opinion than pay for both.

If you guys look at the videos he looks very forward going, bit tense but not in the same way as Flash.

I saw that mare too and thought she looked nice, but have seen some very very bad reviews about the dealer on fb..

Thanks DF!!!. Please go easy on him in one of them it’s not ideal, think it’s the angle
Adorable Alice especially needs to look
he’s out of tulira roebuck for you Connie fans.
Getting more videos tonight but I really really really like what I’ve seen.. proper fuzzy feeling!
I think his limbs are hideous ??

At the risk of being told to bugger off and keep my mouth shut, I was initially focused on the hind end and didn't look much at the front. But there is something seriously wrong with that near fore, he is BADLY tied in at the knee and his winter woolies are hiding it very well.
