Sorry for yet another of these threads, but I quite like looking at all the others for comparison :)

So here's my 18 month old appy gelding, photos taken this morning. I would love to know everyone's thoughts on his condition and if there are any conformation experts out there, any ideas on this would be much appreciated- I'm pretty clueless when it comes to conformation.

Last week I thought he was starting to look a little too round, but after looking a these pics Im starting to think the opposite!

And just because his disgusted expression made me laugh...'Gerrof me Mum!!!'

He looks like a lovely mover. One problem, he is rather well camouflaged and blending into the fog in the photos!

He looks good for his age, but certainly doesn't want to be any fatter. Ideal IMO at the mo :)
 
It's really hard to tell because the background has "whited out" against his light coloured bits, and he's not standing awfully well, but he looks fine condition-wise, nice length of neck but perhaps a little loaded in the shoulder? Hard to tell, but could be long in the back and a tad upright on the pasterns (this could be a baby thing 'though).
 
He looks just right and very well turned out! Just out of interest, is that an airfield in the back ground. it looks interesting.

I know, its pretty difficult to see where he ends and the sky starts! Quite possibly the worst day to take photos but hey ho...

Thank you for the kind comments everyone, I will tell Ben he has some admirers in the morning ;)

Yes, he's a nice type. Shame that he'll grey out and be white eventually 'tho.

I know :( wish he would stay this colour forvever, but as long as he's healthy and happy I really don't mind :) looking at his dam and sire, I'm hoping he will still keep dark points as they both have darker legs, heads and upper necks. Who knows, I shall just have to wait and see.
