Beautiful. He looks, overall, like a well put together guy, very balanced. If I HAD to pick something out, I might say that his neck looks to tie on a tad low, maybe a steep shoulder and his back pasterns look like they might be posty?....
He looks like he has nice short canons in the front, with nice pasterns and straight legs. Deep girth, nice back end, maybe a tad long in the back... his back legs look like they might be cow hocked, I dunno, someone tell me if I'm right or wrong, ha ha. Gorgeous face and head shape! I really like him.
He is a tad long in the back for a gelding, just a tiny bit, tho. A true 16 hands, he's got nice bone, and everything fits well together. Once I have him home, I'll take real confo pics.
He is a biiiiiig puppydog
Thanks....I'm not sure about TB......too many QH features....short upright pasterns, short cannon bone, huge hip, and not at all a TB face. I'd say Appendix.
OK, just being a smarty, if you didn't guess. Don't know much at all about apendix breed. Thought it was just a 'style' of quarterhorse that was TB-like.
I agree about his shoulder, little steeper than I like. might be a little harder to collect than one with a better neckset/shoulder angle, but otherwise he would seem to be a good riding horse to me.
I don't think there's much to pick on here, myself. I agree with the others that say his shoulder is a bit upright. His neck is set a bit low and his back is a touch long. He appears a bit bum high and camped under in the back BUT I think the fence is tricking my eyes somewhat with the shadows across his legs.
He's got great bone and looks very balanced and sturdy. Plus I want to kiss his face!
The big grey ? he is a nice looking horse. He is very solid looking.
is the sorrel the skipper w , with the brand on the butt ?
The big grey horse looks like he would be good for dressage or HJ .
Yup, sorrel(actually she's registered chestnut), is the Skipper W. I gotta take new pics of her;-)
Beau/Bo tried on his new (my old) western saddle, and for now that's what it will be. He has to grow a set of decent feet before he'll work seriously.
