Default Introducing Cody! What do you think?

Hey Everyone,
This is Cody, I've been riding him since the beginning of this year and I wanted you all to critique not the rider, but the horse. That is not me riding him, it is my friend, Kayla. Cody is a 14.3hh Buckskin Mustang Gelding, so, what does everyone think? I am going to start leasing him soon, but my trainer basically "gave" him to me because he was a completely crazy horse when he came to the barn and I trained him...but I INSISTED upon leasing him to make everything official!

He's so handsome!! I love that color and the way the legs are darker. His head's a little big compared to his body, but then he's a Mustang. Can't critique conformation without a shot of him standing square, but his movement looks very nice. He's a bit on the forehand, but I'm guessing he's probably built a little downhill. Nothing some muscle and half halts can't fix. Congrats on your new boy.

MyBoyPuck,
Thank you for your comment. He is far from my "new" boy, I'm the one who has trained him and that is a finished picture. He was HORRIBLE when he came to us, bolted, bucking frenzies, reared, kicked, wouldn't be ridden. Now he's a doll, jumps 3"3 at shows and has a loving mommy...me!

Kind of a skinny neck, but he's a mustang, you never know exactly what they have in them. Looks like he has a slightly long back, but that could be my perception. Need more pictures to tell for sure.

Someone had requested a picture of him standing square. This isn't all that great of a picture, but how does it look. Again, not me riding him and I'm sure you can tell which one is Cody...look for those adorable big puppy dog eyes and that Buckskin coloration...

He has a nice chest, and nice front legs from that picture. I also like his rather wide ears and big eyes. That is a sign of intelligence. He seems to have a rather short neck, and a higher butt.

His coloring is very pretty though =]

ChevyPrincess,
Don't let those cute, big bug eyes and ears fool you. Nor that butt! He is evil!!! ^.^ The countless times I've been on the ground...but I do suppose it was all worth it for my baby boy poppaloppaguss!

I like him but I have a weakness for Mustangs and especially buckskins, duns , etc.. I am glad that he found someone to care so much about him that you didnt give up on him. In my own experience Mustangs are a little harder to win their trust but once they bond you will have a forever friend.
