 thats the pic im critiqueing.. well its nice to see a horse in the ring that isnt a very common color.. he flexes his poll but he needs to get his neck up more..but he doesnt have a straight neck so that would be easy on him it looks like. he doesnt have very good hock action... he needs to be pushed into the bridle more and that will help him tuck his front end up and under himself...you could have way better front end action with some work...like working him in stretchers and some farrier work.. i think hes a nice horse at the right price i would buy him! |

He is a cute horse, but he doesn't seem to have much hock action. He is young though. I don't think he looks too bad. His color is really unique and pretty!

yea, hes only been in training under saddle for a few months now i think, i think he looks pretty good in that picture, all things considered. he went to a show a couple weeks ago and was pretty good, his manners are nice. i know that he has a lot of leg troubles, like more than i've seen in a horse, especially that young, so idk if he really should be doing saddleseat b/c i dont know if that will ave a great long term effect on him. He's cute tho and i'd appreciate any more comments just for feedback!

jeez i forgot two of the things i meant to say: 1. his color is mostly the reason she got him and i agree that its very eye catching and pretty, in real life, hes nearly white with then the dark grey 2. Thanks guys for the critiques even tho hes not really mine or anything. i guess its kinda weird to ask u to critique someone else's horse, but i was j/w.

Has she taken this horse to a B show in IL before? I swear I saw him earlier this spring or maybe last fall, and that name rings a bell too. He didn't wear a full bridle very well yet and looked pretty small and underdeveloped in person. That being said, I wouldn't really ask for critiques on a horse that isn't yours. That could potentially be very embarrassing if someone stumbled upon it that didn't want their/their friend's horse to be pubically subjected to that  |

iced: i only asked b/c he is for sale now, so i mean really people that come to see him will give him the same kind of critiques, i felt weird asking about him, but u know how sometimes when u know a horse, u just dont really know how he actually looks to people? i would feel bad tho if someone came across it altho nothing bad was really said and if i owned him id want to know what people thought.
u dont have to answer this, but what barn are you from? he was at his first show this spring and i was there too.
To all: to avoid potential embarassment as Ice said, lets just stop replying to this and let it go to the bottom, i just wanted some opinions on him, i dont want there to be any problems or anything.
