I know it's hard to tell at this age but what do you think of her? She's only a little homebred so sadly I haven't got any professional/good movement pictures of her.

ETS: Thanks for looking!
 
No advice on confo etc but what a pretty girl she is!

(And I've driven past that yard so many times- I've probbably seen your horses and not known it!)
 

oo - I didn't twig that the picture is so obviously where it is!

lol - not the greatest yard (specially for a foal!) - we are moving v soon.
But yes - if you ever see a slim (ish) brunette running down the fields after a loose horse - that'll be me!

(You've probbably said, but I can't think)
 
Very pretty head, nice length of legs. Good topline and looks to be a rectangular model, with nice angle of the shoulder and looks to have good conformation (a bit difficult with some angles of the pictures to see). Maybe a bit thick in the head and neck connection (again this could be the angle of the pics), but IMO generally looks a nice filly..........

ah - thanks guys - Anastasia you wrote exactly what I think! lol. She has got a bit of a thick neck but she's quite a tall foal and dam is v deep so think she's got neck muscles from bending to suckle!

She's a WB/TB mix. Think to make about 16.3

This is mum 16.2 She's dutch WB, lucky boy and voltaire in her lines - quite heavy though. And the first pic is AFTER she foaled.

Cracking little foal. Maybe a tad long in her pasterns (but that is being super critical).

Interesting that you were tying her up at such a young age, and on such a long lenght of rope - always a massive risk I think.

I really like her though.
