Well it looks very nice, but to really comment I'd need to see it standing square, straight, & looking ahead.
Could you perhaps post another picture?
 
firstly, very cute!
nice head, quite small eyes (i THINK bigger eyes mean more loving or somehting) set far apart meaning hes intelligent! sound right? :S
good length neck, thick, but normal for that breed! could get a nice topline on him
nice body, looks like he will grow to be in proportion, if he doesn't get fat otherwise his head might look a bit small!!!
he doesn't need much critism i think hes lovely and will grom to be stunning!
im no expert either so that could be a load of rubbish but thats what i think!!
is he yours? becuse he is very beautiful! he looks like he has a good character too!
 
A couple of things stand out, but I don't know whether it is just the angle of the shot. You need to have a proper side on view of the horse to be able to judge the conformation.

One thing I can say is this; at 15 months he looks like a nice sort and he will look very different at 5 years old. I think he has a lot going for him considering he is a youngster.
 
Thanks everyone, I'm trying to post another picture, hoe this is a btter angle! Yes he's mine, and he's a traditional cob x welsh, i'm hoping to do mostly hacking and riding club acitivties. he should grow to about 15.2..

I don't think he is very short backed, I feel he is in proportion and as he is quite young, he is very well developed, I think you have a cracker there

That's a better pic. His shoulder appears to have a nice slope to it on this pic, looked a bit straight in the 1st pic. Think he will mature into a cracker.
 
Got to do it sorry!!! It's confOrmation.

While I'm not much good at it, I'd like to say that he looks like a real sweetie.
 
Yeh the upright pastern issue is being tackled by my wonderful farrier, who informed me that he is growing so fast that his tendons have not caught up with his bone growth, causing him to be more upright than he should be.. BUT being the wonderful man that he is, he is correcting that with remedial farriery...
