nothing special in my opinion. Could be a sweetie but looks quite flat over his back. Sounds like an accidental breeding.

I did wonder about those legs but thought I'd double check given his age... bless him, he certainly does seem to have been an accident.

he certainly has some bone!!Those pictures are crap...i wouldnt write him off until i had seen him
...reason being you would not believe what my lad looked like when i bought him at 7mnth old...for the saying ugly duckling to swan,my lad was most definately that,if you like go and see him,take experienced person with you and check out those legs properly...he is going to be a big lad
I am going to disagree with other comments and i would definately go and have a look due to bad photos and make decision when i saw him in the flesh stood up correctly

Difficult to say as the photos are so awful. Plus he is a yearling. Yes not top quality but I have seen alot worse.
Think he's got good bone and in one pic his hocks look strong. Just really bad pics.

As others said, the pictures are terrible.
He appears have a dencent body on him with a good sloping shoulder. You can't tell much about his legs front those photos. I'd def go and see him before writting him off.

For that sort of money you can't expect a top quality horse and I certainly think he is worth a look. My horse was hideous as a youngster and is now stunning so I always think you have to have an open mind when assessing youngsters, and poor photo's are not the way to make a judgment.

I personally would go to see him, he's plenty of bone, he's not a bad looking fella, depends on what your after and what you want to do in the future..type of horse etc but he's only a year old...he may not of had the best start in life (feed/condition wise)...who knows, but at that age they never going to look there best, ok so there poor pictures, I don't think he's over at the knee, I think that's just they way he's stood as he's moving.
£900 for a what could be a lovely gentle giant with a trainable attitude, get him gelded, continue with his training and jobs a good un, imagine what he could look like in another 4 years and for what...£900 and the price of keeping him, I'd take a look at him, sometimes ugly duckings turn out to make the best looking and indeed sound horses, so don't knock him until you've seen him, as for breeding etc, its good to have a bit of mix up sometimes, rather than a pure/part bred.

I was expecting him to have 3 eyes and one ear stuck on his head... I'd go and have a look. He has taken a lot of bone from the "unknown stallion"!

I have to disagree with the majority of posters.
They are terrible photos, and he is well and truly into the Fugly Yearling Stage where their heads are huge, their necks weedy, etc.
I do think he lacks some quality, but if you were looking for a nice all round riding horse, then he does look the correct weight, in good condition, and appears to have been well cared for, despite being an 'accident', poor boy.
For £900, and depending on what I would want him for, I'd go and have a look.

I would go and have a look too.
The photo's are not the best in the world and as someone else has said, you're not going to get a top class, well bred colt for £900 or less if they are open to offers.

Put this way, he's looks twice the youngster my boy did when I went to look at him...and he was 2! and I paid a hell of a lot more!
go seen him quick...you'd be daft not to...otherwise I will

I think if you're keen have a look - the photos are awful which doesn't help! He might turn out to be a bargain.....

I'd go and look at him too if I was in the market for another one (which I'm not). I wouldn't take too much notice of the pictures.
Then again, I've taken this kind of "gamble" before. 5 years ago I bought - on first sight - a TBX colt, sire unknown, for £300. I knew it was a gamble, but I did have the space to run him on. I did see the dam however, and was impressed by her type and movement. When I brought him my boy appeared to have an awful foot/pastern axis angle - but he's grown out of that now - and I'm glad I took the chance with him. Currently a green 6 yo, I've recently been offered 6,000 for him (but he's not for sale).
I say go and take a proper look at the one advertised, and good luck.
