I'm not a fan of how her withers and neck tie in to eachother, but thats merely opinion. I dont have much experience with Saddlebred conformation.
Otherwise I think she's lovely. I dont really see the roached back though. I'd personally like to see a lot more muscle in that hind end, but that is a conditional thing, not conformational. What a beau!
I think she may have a combo of that "Saddlebred Sway" (at least figuratively, if not literally ie genetically), and a short back, which makes her look kinda funny. She is gorgeous, though, IMO. Her Araby croup is kind of flat which may make collection harder for her, but not impossible.
She is a bit pushy and in your face on the ground, I'm told that she is really good under saddle though,
I think she is utterly exquisite! She has very good conformation as per what I have read from Dr. Deb Bennet's writings. (my own personal knowledge is limited, I do admit). I like her build mucho! Her shoulder is awesome and her legs really clean.

She looks hot headed and a little pushy, but absolutely beautiful! Hint of a roached back, but other than that she looks gorgeous! I love her high withers and neck, just a personal opinion
She is nosy. In that one picture she is peeking through a crack in the door. She will always be spying on you wanting to know everything that is going on, and hating people that keep secrets from her.
Other than that silliness, the only observation I would make is she is considerably lighter boned than what you are used to...

im not a arabian person but she is really pretty. only thing is her withers dont tie in like im use to.but i dont know it might be a arab thing.very cute head
She is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. If you dont buy her send them my way!!!
For a critique the only things I have is...Yes with her arab she is slightly more flatbacked but most arabs are and live a healthy competition/endurance life and it could be that she is standing on a slight grade or the angle of the picture she looks a LITTLE up hill in the shoulder, MAYBE. For her breeding I believe that the tie in at the withers is perfectly fine and has the thickness of an arab where as a saddlebreds neck is usually more refined. Non of these things are at all bad for her conformation and she looks like she will make a wonderful life-long friend.
She is now at my place, and I love her, I still don't know if she will stay here, but I hope so., Here are some more pics and a video if anyone wants to add more thoughts.
I didn't see it in the flesh when I was working with her, but I did wonder if anyone else would see it in the video, because I did when I was watching it through, definitely not free striding. I had turned Mr G out with the girls on Sunday pm, and he and Willow were arguing over who was going to be Emmys best friend, and I think she may have taken a knock.
She is registered as part Arab, I suppose technically she is a NSH, but I know nothing about them, I will have to do some reading and see what they are all about
