Default Critique Maddy- 6 yr old OTTB

So i would love you guys to critique Maddy...

6 yr old
OTTB
16 hands

The ground she is on isn't perfectly even but i had to tie her somewhere otherwise she would have followed me around.

I am sorry she isn't perfectly squared up.

I know he front feet are long, the farrier comes tomorrow- trust me she is on a strict 6 week shoeing.

I know she is toed out in the hind a little.

I am still trying to muscle her up.

I have had her for 2 years. I am doing hunters with her and will start jumping in the spring after all the rain. I have taken a few dressage lessons with her and those are going well.

I have attached lots of pics... standing ones, cantering and trotting to the left, cantering and trotting to the right and a few cute ones

Let me know what you think.

cute. horses that have one foot forward like maybe be in pain/ uncomfortable (if it happens frequently.) Shes very cute. why does she have hind boots on in one of the photos? i didnt notice them at first.

^she isn't in pain, just antsy she kept trying to reach the grass around her so once i squared her up- she moved!

she has hind boots on in all the working pictures (i always ride/lounge in them)... she interferes a little (notice that she is toed out) and so they are for protection.

trying to understand this, if a horse is toes out why would her back legs interfere? wouldnt it be the opposite?
