What colour is this?

Nice colour but shouldn't be a stallion - that back is way too short and he looks too upright in the hock. Mind you that is exactly what the irish seem to look for in a horse/pony these days!

No idea, but he's gorgeous. Just out of interest what's wrong with him as a stallion?

He doesn't have good enough conformation, his back end is awful! It's so short and high, that horse will naturally be quite heavy in the hand as his weight is slightly tipped forwards onto the forehand. Although I must admit that the shortness concerns me more than the height, I mean there is barely anything after the saddle. That's why he looks so top heavy.
Also he appears to be quite a bit over at the knee, those knees don't look built to last if you ask me.
I'd nitpick some more if I had a decent shot of him stood up without a saddle and rider, also the feathering means that without actually meeting him in person and inspecting his legs I couldn't give an accurate judgement of them!

But yes, certainly not stallion potential. There are enough badly conformed, cheap little foalies knocking about thank you very much! :D
