Could it be that he's that fat it makes his legs look shorter, a bit like Marty?

He is very short in the cannon and more like a medium weight hunter.Is there TB in him?What way is he bred and what level of eventing would you want to do?

Like I can tell under all that fluff
Sorry
He has a very 'I like hugs' face though - is that a good point for a potential purchase???

Nice type but agree about the short canons. How is he bred?

Yes, some TB, some Dutch showjumper. I'd ideally like something to go novice and beyond, in time.

It's the basis for all my purchases.
It would be good to see him without the fluff wouldn't it?

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
I would avoid - it has a naughty glint in its eye and looks trouble.

He looks alot like my 13hh new forest pony?! I'm not sure about eventing material but I'm sure he'd love polos and hugs!

I would presume he would do novice and he has a lovely kind face.I have to admit I cant see the TB in him.

Jeez, I know you said you liked the look of Emerald, but how rude to sneak round my yard when I am out at work!
Seriously though, it looks a more like a bear than an eventer.

You mean other than the "red eye" from the camera? You could be right though.

I like his ears
and no white bits (face markings don't count) which is always a bonus
Sorry, I'm not sure why I even answered this. My opinion isn't worth much given the horse I decided to buy all those years ago...

I think he looks out of this world. A definite star in the making who's bound to make it to a 4* event!

I luuurve Emerald. I want Emerald.
Bear or yak, or llama maybe?
Emerald looks like his anorexic little brother.

He might be free to 'not so' good home after hunting tomorrow!
And he doesn't like xc, so you would have to do bling!

Ears are very important to consider when you're buying a horse, I think.
And you have excellent taste, I love your Hen before and after photos.

Deal, if you think he'd put up with slumming it at our place? I could even swap you one, or all, of our hunters as I'm about sick of the sight of them.

_JH_ - he's lovely, but hardly fluffy, more bald, by comparison with this one.
lizzieb - I don't understand this "enough" word.

He has a great depth of girth, and I like his short cannons (but then a do have an RID!). I think he'd make a great WH with a bit of eventing on the side.
