I wouldnt say there is a figure missing in front of the five at all, looks about right to me

Face could be 5, but body doesn't look 5- dipped back.

Does it really annoy anyone else when people don't spell-check adverts...

Wow - desparate to shift or what - even get feed bucket!!

Could just be total lack of topline?

we went to view a 3 year old that was unbroken once and it had the most dipped back i had ever seen. Needless to say we didnt buy it!

dont be fooled- when i told the age of my previous horse,patches, to people who didnt know her very well they did not belive her age. (5yrs at the time ) They thought she was at least 10- i then told them to look in her mouth!!!

looks like a severe case of Lordosis to me. Conformation is not to be desired at all. But temperament can be good, who's to know. Bit over priced to me, but deserves a good home just the same.

It has got a dipped back looks def in teens by body but face looks young! My gg is 15 in jan but looks and acts like a 5yr old! bit pointless me saying it really as this is the opposite way round!!

A dipped back is not necessarily an indication of 'age', but could just be its confirmation. I have seen immature 4 and 5 year olds with backs like that. Some of them mature well, some don't. It also has a massive wither - so that doesn't help.

Overall he looks a little week and lacking in muscle, but a nice enough sort.

Some people just want good homes and horses to be well looked after! Looks about right from pic!
