Please do a jumping critique of Eddie jumping 3'9".

He looks like he has amazing potential and like he can clear those jumps no problem! He looks a tad bit bored/lazy though. Not sure if it is just the pictures or how he is on the flat but maybe, as someone has pointed out, some free jumping can help him build up strength and get him a bit more exicted? Then again I do not know his personality so he may actually be a very energetic horse and that it is good he is acting as if he can do this without thinking about it...

One question- can I steal him for my finals???? Hehe he looks great

I don't know if you guys noticed but this is a super old thread. Lol =)

The horse is stunning! And Eventer gal - besides... that's what hunters do. Their not laying on the neck, because their heels are down..

The horse is stunning, and has great form!!

He is gorgeous, he makes a good shape over the fences, perhaps a little flat but alot of horses don't make a round shape under 4ft. The rider is letting the reins go completely loose over the fence and he is still keeping his shape beautifully, a good sign of a well schooled horse, im sure he has a bright future ahead of him :)
PS. You will probably find as the fences get bigger he will tuck his feet up nicely so I wouldn't worry about this :)

Guys this thread is REALLY old. I don't think critiques are needed anymore

He's got an adorable expression, nice square knees which will definitely pin well, just looks like he snaps his knees up, and doesn't use his back as wel as he could in some of the photos... the 5th and 6th photos look better, but he looks a bit 'splinter-bellied' (his knees are up, but because he isn't really basculing over the fence, his belly almost looks in danger of catching splinters from the top rail). He really is a cute horse though, and looks like he has the size to make it to the 4' division still.

Wicked old thread guys..

He looks fabulous. If he goes missing...I didn't do it!! Lol!

ETA...Awww...geesh, I just got sucked into 'critiqing' a 2 year old thread...
