Please can i have your opinions on my youngsters conformation etc please be honest. Also how much weight do you think she will be able to carry she is 14.1hh at the moment she should make 14.2hh +. Pictures are not brilliant but hope you can help.

Thankyou in advance!

Confo looks ok, how old is she? She looks like she could be still in the awkward phase of growth but not bad. Nice legs, good shoulder, should be fairly comfortable. Maybe ever so slightly flat back but overall impression is good. Can't really help on the weight. I don't really think you can say untill thier older and in work. Hope that works
 
It's hard to give a confo critique on a young one as they grow in spurt and sometimes they long alittle mishapen in the process

looking at her length of leg if you think she 14.1hh now I think she'll probably grow another 2 or 3 inches at the wither. She's in great condition, looks like she'll make a nice small hunter. Her neck is maybe a little short but I think she'll grow into that as her head and body match at the moment!

Re weight it's always difficult to tell what they will carry, she looks to have strong shoulders, a good long back and strong joints so I would think if she does grow to 14.3 - 15hh she'd easily carry 12 stone of balanced rider.
 
Thanks for your replies! She is 3yrs and i have had her for about 3 months now. It was a bit of a risk buying her as she was unhandled and very sharp and her old owner could not cope with her.

I had never had a youngster before but she had a lovely temperament so i am glad i went for it. She is off to be broken next week so fingers crossed she behaves herself.

Does anyone have a guess what breed she is as on her passport she is said to be ID x TB but that cant be right because of her height. Any guesses?
