Is he huge or the person holding him tiny?
He looks nice, not too sure about the front legs, long in the pasterns and they look small compared to his body, but maybe thats because we can't see his hind legs.
What breed is he?
as you're asking us what we think then for me it would be a no. Yes he can jump big but for me he just doesn't do it. I may not be an expert on conformation (far from it) but to me it looks like he has a really upright shoulder and his hindquarters could be better, but that may just be the angle the photo is taken from. But hey ho it's just my opinion
I actually quite like him. A photo taken when he's been worked and about to go home is never going to show him at his best. The video was a little hard to see his paces but enough to warrent going to have a look at him, he look a laid back chappie and made that extremely large fence look easy
His paces are fab, I have another video of him but it takes that bloody long to load up on this god damn computer .... I will be putting more videos and pics up in photo gallery once i have them uploaded
You seem to bat back any negatives - so go for what you feel and do not listen to any opinions that do not suit - apparantly you have made up your mind already.
Not enough bone for my liking and hind legs look rather straight which can cause problems later in life but without knowing the mare it is difficult to say
You have to take into account any short comings in the mare,if the mare has a good amount of bone them maybe it would be ok.I like to see a horse of that size with about 8 inches of bone to carry that frame.Has the horse been graded and what are his off spring like at 6 he will probably have some 2 year old off spring to view.Choosing a stallion takes a lot of time ,knowledge and LUCK
Love classic vision (rid) also , there is also a nice rid stallion called eastern hero... a friend actually owns him .
Problem is ...Our filly has 1/4 irish draught so im thinking she will turn out quite fine boned , she has annaghdown star bloodlines and flaming feather tb lines .
She would need to be put to something with abit of bone .
He looks nice, personally if it were me - I wouldnt use him just because I dont think he's quite special enough compared to some others. But it totally depends what you want him for (ie. for jumping bloodlines etc.). It was also depend a lot on temperament and attitude as well.
