Bottom To Top "Bode" is a 5 y/o 16.2h tb gelding. Has been off the track for 5 months, started w/t/c. Is advertised sound and solid. Promised to be super quiet, almost unflappable and super sweet and gentle. Here is a link to his pedigree: Bottom To Top Horse Pedigree
Hopefully will receive a video tomorrow. Here are pictures for now thanks!
He looks very cute, and has good conformation for a TB. My only thing is he looks a little straight in the hocks. But nice shoulder and neck. He's a cutie
He is weak and long through the coupling. He is a tad straight through the hocks and over straight through the knee.. just shy of being back at the knee. His neck is set a bit low and he is front end heavy.. slightly down hill. He has awfully high withers and will be a saddle fit challenge.
Based on his top line I would probably pass on this horse for the discipline you want to follow. He would do OK at lower levels, but it will be a challenge to move him up.
I like this horses topline better than the first one. Still pretty straight through the hock IMO. Seems to be standing under himself a lot in the front but it could be the picture. I'm new to confo by the way, so someone correct me if I'm wrong Posted via Mobile Device
I think her standing under herself was just the way she was stood up. I personally like her. She seemed nice in the video.. But I'm a western rider so I couldn't say much about her being good at what you want. Her pasterns seem a tad long, but they match front to rear and the shoulder angle. Posted via Mobile Device
I know she looks very full of herself! It looks like she is tempted to throw a few bucks in the lunge video :p she's only 15.2.. A little firecracker!
Owner said she isn't overly forward or hot but not a whip and spur ride either. They said shes not spooky, rides on a loose rein on the trails. Here are some other videos, hard to see anything tho.
She is nice and free in front. She is a bit downhill. Her neck is set correctly on a big laid back shoulder that is not too steep. She moves fairly free in front although she is not being pushed. She is a bit light in bone and her hocks are set quite high. She could use larger hocks as well.
Not a bad horse. Quite balanced. Wish she had more bone.
I've been following your threads (sorry the first guy didn't work out, I liked him too), but am so happy that you found something to meet your needs! Can't wait to see more pictures and hear how she does when you get her home.
Thank you! I'm bursting at the seams to get her home! I can promise lots of pictures Posted via Mobile Device
