I see no reason why this horse should still have his jewels.

Eh, he has a short back, he is cow-hocked, and looks knock-kneed or toed out on the front. He is a probably a pretty good using horse but if I was looking for something to breed, I would look somewhere else.

Unfortunately I have to agree with what the other two posters have said...He is not what I would consider breeding quality..for all the reasons already mentioned...

Helping a friend out. Those are the same things I told her, but she thought I was being negative. Told her I would post on a couple of forums with no prompting and see what was said.

Thanks.

I must agree with what everybody else has said.
He is way to pigeon toed.
He may have a nice temperment. I don't know. But if you are going to have a stallion for breeding he should have good conformation and temperment.

Frankly there are to many stallions out there and to many breeding horses just because they have a stallion or a mare.

There is a saying a wise horseman told me once "a good stallion makes an even better gelding".

Which I think is very true

I personally don't think he's anything great, a lot of flaws...like the others above said. I'm not a fan of him.

Thanks... I've removed the photos, as we've gotten the answers we needed and would like to let this die.
