This is Alfie my 8 year old clydesdale/welsh/dales x. I was hoping somebody can advise me if his conformation is okay, just for interest as I have no idea ! Also does his weight look okay? I am not sensitive so fire away ! Thanks very much:D

He looks very downhill and goose rumped, a little short backed and his neck ties in pretty weird. No real wither definition, but it looks like his neck just ties in like that. He looks a little camped under in the front and slightly sickle hocked, but the tail and feathers kinda hide that hahaha.

He is stunning though! A real cutie, I love his expression. Not the best built horse, but not every horse is perfectly balanced. He looks fine weight wise, could use more muscle in his neck though.

Darn, I may have to come relieve you of your horse burden. He's a cutie. I do see the high butt, and of course the massive feathers make it a bit hard to see what his legs really look like. The base of his neck is pretty thick, and a little cresty, but the rest of what I can see of his neck looks fine. I would definitely train him to cart. He'd look really cute!

He's almost identical in build to our Clyde x arab mare who came from the UK, its a fairly typical shape for that cross and if crossed with a welsh D. We keep our ones feathers clipped off though. She can turn her hoof to anything asked of her and incredibly agile for the size
I would think that trimmed and clipped you'd have a good contender for the show ring cob classes there
