What do you think of this horse?

Although he looks kind I'm not that keen. His neck looks weak and too long in one photo but too short in the other. He looks like he's got a lot of growing to do yet and his front pasterns look too low an angle. Plus I'd want to see a photo of him being ridden... always strikes me as odd when websites don't have ridden photos when advertising horses as going well under saddle.
 
Personally I like him - looks very similar to my lad at that age and once he has toplined I think he'll be nice. Pasterns don't to me look bad at all but he is typically quite front endy

Agree would be nice for an under saddle pic
 
Love him - looks are real nice type.

I'm not good on conformation though but he looks a pleasing type to me who just needs to muscle up in the neck and bum area.
 
Its from there - enough said

I worked there for 5 years and they have had some lovely horses there in the past although they don't stay there for long. This one (if its the one i think it is) has only just arrived this week!

I think theres something odd about its front feet though maybe they are a bit long?

I liked the second one down the dun mare very nice looking but a mare! I dont like the first one but i generally not keen on that tyope of horse anyway!
 
Looks a nice sort, like the 2nd and 3rd down too. Haven't really heard much of its reputation or had any personal experience of the place tho
 
I like it. Keep an open mind about dealers as they can often get bad press when some horses have 'gone wrong' but may have sold loads that people are really pleased with. Don't know this place other than holding shows. Good luck with yor horse hunting LM.
 
I've seen a fair amount of lovely showjumpers come from that yard so its probably the same as any dealer, some are good some are not just take your chances and don't believe everything they say! Think it's probably overpriced a little but am tempted to look at it anyway!
 
I like him. He sounds overpriced to me since he hasnt done much. I wouldnt pay more than £3k for him myself. But I like the look of him, he looks to have a nice attitude about him. Plus I love greys anyway! Id go and see him if I was looking.
 
Looks like it would have a nice character but wouldn't personally buy it due to the front leg conformation. Wondering if the white marks are an old injury or just from being new at the stables and getting into the pecking order. Not too keen on the neck either, seems expensive. Maybe the picture doesn't do it justice.
