Conformation For Jumping!!!

He's very nice looking horse. I wouldn't even think he's mustang frankly. The only thing I would point out is his toes look too long. But may be it's just an angle.

One thing I see that hasn't been mentioned yet is that his pasterns don't come straight down into his hooves in the front. They're offset a little to the inside. Not severely though, so it shouldn't really affect him much, if at all.

Mehh, I don't really like his back end. It looks very weak compared to his front end.

I like his big muley ears, soo cute! Don't worry about him being barefoot. That's a good thing if he has nice hard feet, I'd leave em bare, even if you are wanting to jump him should be fine. I put Tom(changed it back from Dhom, its just too confusing for me, mom wont call him Dhom so I give up So now he is Tomahawk, hehe take that mom!) on here a bit ago to figure out his breed and popular opinion came as Mustang, so ill post a few pics...

He has big ears too!

I second the rotated shoulder, and that your saddle is up too far...I think that will greatly help him be able to take jumps with ease. Mustangs normally have pretty good scapula movement and how far up your saddle looks, does appear like it's blocking movements.

But he's a beauty! I've always adored mustangs!
