He just caught my eye.

Okay, so I like to browse when the BLM have online adoptions. I came across this gorgeous ( in my opinion, of course ) mare. I love her coloring. I do want people's opinions though of her conformation, from what you can tell by the pictures given. I know they're not the best.

P.S. Please ignore the title, "He just caught my eye." I meant to be she, my mistake. :/

She looks pretty well built. What do you plan on doing with her?

I'm not sure if I'll put a bid, because it's something I'd have to discuss with my mom. My most interest would probably be trail riding and ranch work. Her body looks slightly too long for barrels, don't you think? I'm not at all good with conformation or anything, so I honestly have no idea.

She is pretty long, but thats no reason she couldn't be decent at speed events. She probably wont be a world chapion, but if she enjoys it and so do you why not? :)

She looks like she'd be sturdy enough to do pretty much anything. Too bad you can't meet her and see what her temperment is like!

Ha! I saw this mare just this morning and trying to come up with reasons why she was the horse I had been looking for, but I know myself enough to realize that right now a wild, unbroke horse is just not for me. If you have the resources, the space and the experience to take her on, I'd say go for it.

LOL, never mind. I browsed the BLM site and got it figured out.

She is a stunning little mare, gorgeous coloration. I don't see any legitimate reason why she couldn't be pretty good at barrels. Yes, she is a bit longer through her body so it would take more work to get her to really bunch up around the barrels, but, that longer body also gives her a longer stride and that means more speed in the straight.

She's gorgeous! I don't know how well of a barrel racer she'd be because she doesn't look very deep through the chest to me but with mustang's hartiness and good feet she should be an amazing trail horse!! and you could probably do some Walk/Trot classes with her too.
