My colt is now a month old and I have entered him for inspection in january.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to make comments on him? I would love to have an idea of what I may expect from the examiners.

These photos were taken at 2 weeks old and the best conformation stance I could get at the time. He is now away with the mare who is being AI'd but I will get more photos as soon as he is home.

He looks a good close coupled sort but the best time to inspect a colt is as a yearling )late on) or better still in the spring of the 2nd year. Even then this can only be an indicator as they change so much once being produced. Potential is always interesting and some horse blossom once they start being prepped whereas others loose their movement because they need more time to be strong.
The best time to licence for most is at 2.5 years or 3. I would go for three if he ws a late foal.
 
Thanks woodlander for your advice. I think it is the normal here to have these guys done under 6 months old, so I know the inspector should be used to seeing young foals.

Anyone else have any thoughts on him?
 
He looks cute,

Short Coupled, good bone, large knees, his point of shoulder looks like he could have a nice extension, sloping rump, recon he'll do well.

Delightul lil chap
