9 yo Appy Gelding - Crossing Front Legs?

He's long backed, and down hill built, and I don't care for the way he travels-most likely directly linked to the long topline and down hill stance. He appears lazy, and that could be due to the way he has to travel; he may be sore, or just not supple enough. The extent that he crosses his legs wasn't helped by the small circle.

I would pass.

IM gonna agree, you should pass. There is just something that is not good about him.

He's not tracking correctly on the front. I wouldn't buy him but that's up to you. The rider didn't seem to be riding very well. Every stride at the canter her butt was leaving the saddle. He might have a jackhammer canter but more likely he has a poor rider which could account for the problems with impulsion and collection. The front feet are the biggest issue for me.

My QH gelding did that. I looked like he was walking and trotting on a tight-rope, and would often trip because he would get his legs "tangled." He was also built very downhill and had a broad chest with a leg at each corner.

This horse's color is really nice, and he looks huge! But he does have that movement that a lot of horses who are built downhill do, where he just kind of pulling himself forward with his front and his back end is just coming along because it is attached.

I like him.

he moves awkwardly :S head down and slow, lazy pace i dont think the leg cossing is the main problem

I think she was riding forward seat hunt, their butts aren't quite in the saddle at the canter.

sorry for all the posts. To me he looks like he was maybe trained APHA style (more like AQHA) and maybe even western pleasure and then was turned into a hunt horse... but I'm geussing.
