honest opinions please...what do we think?

I dont see a problem with the confirmation, some of the best horses have "things". If you like the sounds of it, then go and have a look.
 
OOO, No!! Don't like it at all, Boxy feet, pasturns just weird. Skinny neck, small weedy thing - sorry wouldn't even go look if I saw the photo.

Just my opinion tho!!

Nice horse.

And I agree some of the best horses have little things.

I think if you wanted it then a vetting would show up any problems if there are any
 
I agree the feet are a little boxy, but apart from that i don't think it's bad

I don't like it's neck particularly, and it doesn't do great things for me, but as i say it's no road crash

Its 4, so would forgive weedyness. it is a bit boxy, but would prefer that to flat and spread out. The confirmation wouldnt bother me in the slightest, it looks like a "complete" horse. What would bother m,e is it is 4 and competing at 1.15m
 
isnt it jumping 1.15 at home? v nice head and as for being 4 i would expect it to be weedy looking... nothing is set in stone, only emailed for more info! but thank you guys its nice to have other people outlooks!

p.s it also doesnt say how much!!!

and cant find any info on his sire

I think the term BLOOMING AWFUL, covers the horse but it probably has a good temprement!!

I think that's a bit strong....but then i guess we are all allowed our own opinons

As to who was concerned about it jumping 1.15m as a 4yo...why not !? The age classes for 4yo's are 1m in the first round, 1.10m in the JO and you have 6 yo's jumping 1.50m in the Foxhunter regional final JO's

What doesnt help is that its near fore is sticking out sideways which makes it look odd.

Jeez its 4 give the poor horse a break, no wonder it looks weak.

Mind you, just being nosey on that site, a couple of there horses, the greys in particular are the funniest looking equine beasts ive ever seen, odd shape and the other looks like half mule.
 
No sorry flintus not in the slightest for me. Yes he is only 4 years old but his shoulder doesnt look great. His legs arent helped by the fact one is sticking out. Boxyish feet too

But then I am a ISH fan

remind me never to post a pic of my horse on here without puttng the plated armour on first!!!

talk about critical!!! jeeze!

it's standing at an odd angle for the pic to be taken, and is only young - WB's take for ever to mature... can't really see the neck as the light is bad in the pic, it is quite upright too.

but you can't judge something on a picture IMO!

and BBs - the greys do look odd!

Like the puppies for sale though

People would never be so harsh if they knew it was your own horse.

If it's anonymous I think people are not so fussed about being tactful and can be brutally honest lol

I'd be gutted if it was mine though!
 
Sorry Rambo!! I just ahev very clear ideas of what I like I guess
grin.gif


Not my cup of tea at all!!

Theres a chesnut on the website with a white patch on her tummy - now that looks ok - just wondering why they took the photo with the head so far in the air??
 
Yes I know Rambo, doesnt mean I have to agree with it!

I personally wouldnt buy a 4yr old that has been jumping that height as muscles/joints ect arent developed enough IMO.
 
i have taken in all comments! the horse looks wise, colour height (about 16hh from a guess) face and build (i know eventually he would fill out) but i now cant go to any shows if i were to buy him cus no one likes him! lol

thanks for all comments though!!
 
I'm not convinced that horse is as bad as everyone says - his leg is turned at a funny angle which makes him look very odd at first glance. What exactly are 'boxy' feet? This guy has over 100 horses for sale, well worth going to have a look. If you tell him what you are looking for, and your budget, he will bring some out for you to try. Some of the very best showjumpers have a rather unusual conformation, you never can tell.
 
I don't think he looks too bad, a little leggy perhaps and needs some filling out, but he's only 4. As KatB said tho, I'd be a little concerned about him jumping 1.15, thats personal preference tho, I like to take youngsters slowly
