How is Eli's overall conformation?

Hi there.
Well, I bought a 7 year old Quarter Horse gelding about three months ago named Eli. His overall conformation looks pretty good to me, but I am no expert.

So here I am, asking critique on Eli's conformation - what do you think? Is he in good shape? In the future, do you think he could be a good non-pro barrel horse?
Thanks! :)

I agree with you, his overall confirmation is pretty good. I am not that experienced with speed events, but what little I do know, he looks decent but not skookum. Nice looking horse though.

Thank you! I have the same thoughts as you, I know he doesn't have perfect confo. but I think he's okay. :)
He's an amazing horse, though!

Oh, and another conformation shot for the heck of it...

He looks slightly calf kneed to me but it might be some of the angles.Pasterns look good..the back ones might be a little short. Someone might correct me on this.
Nice hip and nice round shoulders!
His body looks balanced. I think that he is put together nicely.

Love his name

Nice looking gelding ! He has nice balance, a pretty head, and good muscling. He looked a little steep crouped in the first picture but doesn't in the other ones, so I think that was just the camera angle. He's nice and compact - I think he should be very well suited for barrels.

Very nice looking guy. He appears a bit long backed, but not grossly so. He has a high croup and withers, but I like those myself. He's a solid looking gelding...
