What do think of this chap? A forum member has kindly pointed me in his direction and he sounds delightful! An 8yo, with fabulous temperament, movement, bloodlines etc....
Looks to have very nice movement SN,and a really kind looking face.
Would prefer more knee action myself,but that is certaily not a detrimental comment to him
He seems to have a lovely kind eye and a springy stride. However, his neck is scrawny (esp. for a stally) and his head seems too small for his body, making him look a bit mule-like in the bottom photo.
Ooh-err!
Tbh, photos give the impression they were all taken 'in a bit of a rush', if you know what I mean, (to get them onto website/stud card asap maybe?) & don't look particularly 'professional', so maybe just an 'awkward piccie angle'?
I'd buy him!! I hate seeing fat, cresty animals and lots of TB stallions just look like the regular ,racing geldings. Go for temperament and ability and whatever complements the mare.
I think he looks lovely.........looks to have good elevation in his paces.
Agree the feet don't look good but the weight is not fully on the off hind, making it look very odd.
It would be good to see stock by him to check out if they inherit his feet or hopefully it could be poor farriery.

Seeing as he's at a pretty good yard, I'd be suprised if it is farriery tbh - though I don't know how long he has been there, don't think he's been in the country for long! Not sure if he has any stock on the ground either....... Will be going and checkinghim out though!
