I have been fattening Luca up and building his top line. He used to be REALLY butt high (AS A 5 YEAR OLD :shock:) and was all skinny. So...how is his confirmation, be as "mean" as you can! :D
And also, what do you guys think he would be good for, like, which discipline/s? I really want to know your opinions!
Thanks!
Here are the pics:

^ a tiny bit on a slope here, making his butt look a TINY bit higher than it is:lol:

^not on a slope (with front boots on) his neck is so thin! :shock: That was a little while ago, please judge his muscling by the first pic :D
Maybe they're not the best confo pics....sorry if they aren't...but yeah, how's his conformation and what discipline do YOU think he would do well in? Btw, he's a 6yo Standardbred gelding, 16hh. :D

Thanks guys! :D
I'm actually pretty amazed how much Luca has changed! He used to be jug-headed, butt high, ewe necked etc...:shock:

What discipline/s do you think he'd be good at? Just some opinions! :)
I'll probably be doing some Pony Club and lower level jumping. Would Luca be good for that?

Doing normal schooling with him right now is very hard (muddy paddocks) but trotting and circle work sounds great! By raised poles, do you mean trotting poles or jumps? Because he actually jumps over any type of pole :lol: I have been working on trotting poles but you know what he does? He JUMPS THE WHOLE THING! :shock::lol: I never knew he could jump that far! But we're working on it :-p

The are some people nearby who are offering a "jumping clinic" for any level rider or horse and I was thinking maybe I could do that with Luca? I mean, I still need a LOT of training with my jumping and so does Luca. My parents think its a good idea, too. I could also do some good trotting and circles on the BEACH when the weathers better. But yeah...how high do you think he could be able to jump?
