I dont know nothing about confirmation (sorry) but he is just my type of horse so when you are bored you can pass him this way

Are you definitely sure you want honest answers - both the good and the bad? Because I have seen some people get hurt when people comment on their horse's weaknesses.

you cant realy see his conformation properly but it looks ok from what i can see.

my only comment, and this is MY opinion and its not actually anythng thats wrong with him - but whoever is riding him in the last picture has him on too tight a rein resulting in him not coming through from behind - he looks tense in the neck.

Also id put a flash on him as hes opening his mouth and tilting his head in the bottom picture.

These are all my views before anyone jumps on me about the flash thing or my other comment.

But like i said in the photo forum he is very nice looking

I think you are opening yourself to an awful lot of liability letting someone ride him without a helmet.

The only area I can see some descrepancy (which could be part of the picture) are his hocks.....

Definitely a handsome horse with lots of presence but difficult to assess his conformation from the photos given as at funny angles. Has a lovely head but in the bottom pic it looks like he turns his right hind outwards - but could just be angle of photo.

Middle pic is not very flattering - looks like he is running on and falling onto forehand and tilting his head. I'm sure it is just a fleeting moment though

Lovely Horse! would say he's working on his forehand quite a bit though and although his head is in, he's not bending up properly....what a stunner.. x

Hi, no I dont want to swap but thanks!

You are right about not moving properly, the saddle completely didnt fit and he was very restricted in his front....well done you a gold star!
