Hey guys, this is my new horse Patron. He is a four year old, oldenburg/thoroughbred. He still needs some training, but just wondering what you think of him. I would like him to be an eventer in a couple years :)
I really like this horse. He is correct through the neck and shoulder and has a solid topline (see the second photo with the cars behind him and he is facing the left side of the frame). He has lots of bone and seems to have correct angles. Hind pasterns might be a tad long (but that is less of an issue than fronts being long as 60% of the horse's weight is on the front end). Can't see his hind leg angles well in these pictures.. so I won't comment.
