Just wondered what people thought of this horse for sale?

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

OOOOH!!! I'm a real sucker for a handsome gelding!

 

[KatB]

Sweet. Looks a bit "warmblood" though

Has a slightly thick expression

Good looking though.

 

[vickyguns]

his back end looks a bit tucked in, and back legs look quite close at the bottom (brushing/swingy?)
but I'm rubbish at looking at horses and prefer big chunky things, so am probably talking the proverbial!

Personally I don't like him - very upright in the shoulder, and very weak back end. He is only four, so could change shape as muscle develops, but will always have an upright shoulder. Realy doesn't look 16.3hh either (unless was a very big rider on him) but that could just be the photograph. Without seeing movement pictures it would be hard to critique properly, and of course, would need to see him in the flesh to be sure, but based on the advert I wouldn't even bother going to look. Quite pricey for a 4yo with no record either. Not really my cup of tea.

He's a good looking boy, I would prefer to see some pictures other than him walking with his head up in the air (but then I am fussy!!!).

But really nice looking type

Back end does not look like it belongs to the front end - hope that makes sense - you can get a lot more for your money.

The pics tell you very little about him and the first confo pic is rubbish, TBH. He looks nice enough but not WOW!

 

[HorseS0S]

I like him, looks a small 16.3hh. Mine is 16.3 and is massive!

 

[Bossanova]

His back end looks very odd in the 2nd pic. I dont like his hindleg either

 

[kerilli]

i don't like his hindend either, sorry.
also, if they're putting that many photos, why not have one of him moving?

 

[Bubblegum]

I'm not a big fan either. Pics perhaps dont do him justice... would prefer to see him doing something!!
Don't like it that he's got boots on the whole time...
Back end looks a bit under-developed to me.
However.... its very difficult to tell from these pics... the seller hasn't shown him off very well IMO...
May look much nicer in the flesh.

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Don't like his back end or his shoulder... He doesn't really do it for me but if he rode well, had a good jump and attitude to him then I'm sure he'd make a mean competition horse.

 

[Flibble]

Doesnt look 16.3

 

[scotsmare]

Nice enough looking but not for me - nothing about his conformation or presence says look at me.

 

[Fairynuff]

Could be the photos but Im not convinced about his hocks-they look very weak. Im not sure about him at all

[Persephone]

I love his ears! That's about it though! Sorry.

[wishfulthinking]

Don't like the look of him at all.

 

[H-J]

Glad you have all said that

Its one I went to look at b4 I bought Dougal

It's schooling was pretty poor even for a 4 yr old

 

[Box_Of_Frogs]

I think he's a sweetie and his ears suggest he's one of those whatever-they-ares that have curly ears! Can't remember. Senior moment. Help!

 

[Cruiseonamiro]

Tbh honest though, he's a big four year old! It will take him quite some time to grow into himself yet, and he's pretty well priced. Could be a rough diamond for someone who's prepared to work on him I reckon. Has one of those, "what me?" faces that just instantly make you suspicious!
