critique a qh

Downhill builds don't jump well. My QH, "Ro Go Bar" (1982-2009, RIP) was built downhill for racing--his grandsire was the famous racer, "Go Man Go." He jumped flat every time. It's just too hard to get the forehand up high enough. He'd probably make a nice trail horse, however. How does he ride?

Thanks everyone for your input. She rides pretty well. Very smooth canter but the trot is a challenge. It seems like she doesn't like trotting so we are working on it. Typical mood swings of a mare as well, but she's 5 so still lots of energy and playfulness. Also, she does like jumping. She picks up her feet nicely for poles and obstacles, and last week while cantering on a trail, she went straight for and over a small log, no hesitation or anything. She we defininitely won't jump in shows, just for fun. Thanks again everyone.
