I'm just wandering if a) you could crit this horse on its confo. (PLEASE be totally honest!) b) whether you would buy him and what you think he would be capable of doing (disciplines) and c) would you buy him? Thank you and sorry they are awful photos, but only ones i have and you can sort of get the idea of what he looks like from these:

Thank you :)
 
he looks like a nice enough soul and with some condition and top line put on him he would look very nice. Its difficult to crit his confo from your pics but I can see nothing glaringly wrong. He does have a lovely head and a nice bum. As for discipline-jack of all trades and master of none! He could also be an olympic prospect, you never can tell! lol.
Whats his story?
 
Ok I'll have a go..don't normally do these as i am AWFUL at confo :o but I'll have a go, I am probably wrong on everything though :P
Well one thing that's obvious to me is that he's a polo pony due to mane ( :p ) and typical (IME) polo pony physique?- IE not much topline particularly on neck, but fairly broad shoulder and back?
Going on that: I should think he could jump,seeing as most of the polo ponies I've known are athletic and versatile enough to do most things- jumping, hunting etc. Particularly Argentine ones as they are so hardy.
Guessing he hasn't taken to/isn't good at polo and is looking for a career change? :)
 
I'll get some better pics of him tomorrow... :p and then i'll tell you why i asked. I'll try and get a video of him trotting as well :D
Photos don't REALLY show what he looks like, quite complementary tbh... :p but ill repost tomorrow with better pics :D
 
honest looking eye. typical polo pony. no development of top line. depends what you are buying for.
 
I'd buy him. Looks like my old horse - ex polo. Needs some top line but then if he is apolo pony thats what you'd expect, He should be fab to hack and handle and do pretty much everything with, and is young enough to reschool to whatever you fancy within reason.

How much?
