Can you tell me what you think he would be best in? I love gymkhana but he is too big. He can run fast but tight turns are too tight for him. I have decided to take up a new riding discipline. Let me know what you think he has potential in! I have tons of videos of him but can't post them here for some reason so here is the youtube link: YouTube - Icrazyaboutu's Channel

I will attach some pictures too. Thank you so much for you time and critiques! :) Sorry for the picture overload and the size!

I'm not the grandest at critiquing but you need to straighten your back and pull your shoulders back. You look kind of slumped over. I think your stirrups should be just a smudge more forward on your feet, your heels should be a bit further down. I think your thumbs are turned in instead of up? I can't see them too well though.

Well thats my damage! =D Other than that I LOVE your horses color!

first off. i love your horse. i saw him on another post, i was showing the pics to my boyfriend earlier. what breed/breed is he??
i would love to see a horse like that jumping, or in dressage. does he jump at all? i would talk to your trainer about whats best for him. you need to really get a feel for the horse to get an idea of what his ideal job is. does he go western?

I mainly ride western this is both of our's second time english so I know I dont have good posture and I need to work on that but it feel of the english saddle is so different and I still have to get use to it. So for jumping- he will jump barrels while they are laying on their sides with and with out me mounted.

As for the breed... he is a PMU so no clue. Thanks for the compliments!

Just personal preference but I love seeing larger breeds in pleasure classes both w and e... maybe some dressage, I think he'd look fantastic! You could try trail pleasure(not sure what it is called but basically a mix of wp and trail) The only critique i have is that he looks a bit chubsy(of course that isn't a bad thing really!) Maybe he could stand to lose a few...

What part looks chubby? I just was wondering so when I cut but a little I can know where to look for improvement.

Ok so is there anything to change the tail set? I don't think there would be but just a question. Does the tail set affect his overall conformation?

Thank you for the comments! Please keep them coming!

Here are two videos. The first one is my friend who isn't use to him or his size so no critiquing her. Just his trot. The second one is me and him I dont want to be critiqued, I know I looked really bad but it was because I was trying to get him to canter and his trot was very choppy and I am not use to the english saddle yet. So once again could you please critique his movement?
