update: poss new horse, better pics

[madhector]

ok, tried Toy again, liked him even more, saddle is much too wide, kept slipping forwards, aparently she bought him in october , he had started jumping and done basic flatwork, my mistake

here are some more pics, please let me know what you think.

couldnt get him to stand square but you get the general idea

comments please!

Looks a nice type

How old is he? Needs lots of work on top line and a little weak behind but I'm sure you will put the work in to strengthen him up .

 

[madhector]

sorry forgot to mention age and stuff again, he is 6, well tec 7 now as TB, 15.2hh. not done much, but done a british novice, clear round, and some unaffiliated jumping too, has no topline bless him but will def work on that

 

[Bossanova]

He's a nice sort. He stands over himself a bit and is very weak behind but this can be improved.
What job do you want him to do?

 

[madhector]

definatly to BSJA, and hopefully some intros, PN etc..

 

[vicijp]

TBH the front end and the back end dont match up. He has far too long a neck for so little shoulder, the type that are very hard to get looking 'well'. Saying that I dont totally dislike him, but wouldnt be for me.

 

[hollyzippo]

His neck is a little long but once he's got some depth will be much better. Shouldnt have any major probs doing BSJA or low level BE, just needs a bit more strength behind and topline as said.
I'd do a couple of days a week on Pessoa as well as hacking and schooling

He looks very nice, looks quite young, needs building up a bit in terms of muscle and topline but looks a very nice horse!

 

[madhector]

not really done much so hence lack of muscle, dont think working in a saddle that is far to wide helps though

 

[Blizzard]

LOL absolutely!

I cant see anything wrong with him and any imperfections I think can be sorted out with correct work.

 

[Magicmillbrook]

Saw your last pics - still like him, as others have said lacks a little muscle but would improve with work. My TB x has a very long neck (possibly the x is a giraffe), that said when she works in an outline she looks great. I suspect this boy will look much better with some top line and an established outline.

He is really nice, agree with the others about the muslce thing and needing to build up a bit more but i think he is lovely. Next time you ride him, alter his noseband so it is higher up, you dont want the flash restricting his breathing.
Also, if you buy him, give him more shavings, he didnt have a very thick bed!!!
good luck

Re: his bed, but it looks like he has rubber matting down?


I dont think his neck is that bad and once he is working in an outline he will soon build up and look fab!

 

[madhector]

was on rubber matting, dont worry, he would have a properly fitting bridle and saddle if i have him

and a big bed

now just have to sort out vetting, cant wait

 

[Blizzard]

Aww great! Its lovely when you know you can give them a better home isnt it!

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Does he come with his tack?!

Ps I had a heart attack when i saw the bed well when i didnt see one.....

 

[cariadssogreat]

I'm with Boss and Vic on this one - but if he is the one for you then go with your gut

 

[madhector]

no, doesnt come with tack, thank god! think we make a good pair, will just have to work hard to build up his topline

 

[rach1984horse]

He looks nice. His top line etc will come with work. Would perfer to do things like that myself and school him on a bit rather than buy into other peoples bad habbits. Good luck with him.
