Conformation Critique on this 2014 Arab Gelding?

I'd like to use him for endurance and trail rides but I think his hind legs show some promise for jumping even? Opinions?

when looking at a horse for a jumping horse, look at the front end first. elbow and knees and pasterns.
I wouldn't be as severe on my critique of him. I like his large hocks, and long legs. His shoulder is fine. Maybe not so great for jumping, as the angle of his forearme seems a bit more on the horizontal angle , which makes it a bit harder to lift front legs. Also, he has a hint of being back at the knee. But, he might be a lovely saddle mount, with lots of presence and go. He is by no means poorly conformed.
