Yearling conformation critique, and mare condition

[Charmin]

Baxter is now one, as he was an early March boy. I think he's going through his ugly stage, he's looking very woolly! I was just interested in what people thought of his conformation? He has the teeniest tiniest feet. He's an absolute sweetheart, loving life out with the herd.

And then one of my mare - not the best photo by far. She's an extremely good doer and has been out 24/7, gets hay and two feeds a day of chaff and fast fibre. She's feeling great, loads of energy. You can also faintly see her ribs when her head's up, but she doesn't look skinny. I'm just so unused to actually seeing a bit of rib that it's a bit unnerving. Think she's okay considering going onto summer grass, her skin and coat are good and she's full of beans!

Who is the foal by ?

 

[Charmin]

He's by Ninth House out of a Ricardo Z mare.

Gorgeous stallion and sweetie in person as well!

Not a stallion I have heard of, but looking at the pictures of him he is a nice type with perhaps not the best of forelimb. The foal has taken the forelimb of the mare which again could be better. The picture of the foal may be misleading but his front feet look boxy.

Possibly a tad short in the neck but at his age most look odd and grow on to be something very different. Good luck with him.
