I don't want to sound like the fun police, but I think it is a bit off to post a photo of someone else's horse, purely with the intention of inviting rude comments.

Yes, I suppose it is a bit un-kind but I think these ponies which are so badly conformed should never have been bred in the first place, as, I suspect, the parents were of poor conformation as well.
It seems to be the fashion these days to produce Welsh ponies and cobs specifically for in-hand showing, where it would be nigh impossible to place a saddle upon it's back. Champion prize-winners at top shows seem to have been bred with a very short, almost sway back which does nothing for the overall picture and certainly can't be very good for it's health in later life.
My apologies to who-ever the owner is but I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!!!
I totally agree with you there Dun4, the results of indiscriminate breeding are very sad. Doesn't mean it's ok to rubbish the individual examples on an open forum though!

There was no intention of inviting rude comments ... I don't dictate what people type
I think it is wrong to post this with no knowledge of a) the parents confo (making snide comments about that when you know nothing of them is definitely not on) b) the owner and c) even how old it is!
