Need better pictures for conformation analysis. But no I wouldn't breed him. He also looks uncomfortable in the saddled picture.
Hows his conformation?
I posted pics of a stud i just bought last week... It was interesting to hear what people think of another horses conformation. Usually they pick out a lot of flaws and weaknesses... So i have another boy and I'd like to hear your opinions on him! I've had him all his 9 years of life... He's a great grand son of Smart Little Lena and a tremendous cow horse. Would you guys breed something like him on your mares? How does he look to you?

He sure doesn't resemble a 16 hand, 1500 pound animal in that first picture and sorry, but that second truly does him no justice either.
His want and try, his heart and loving his job mean so much though as you make comment on.
Do enjoy what he offers and enjoys doing for you and for him. I hope he continues to work his heart out for you for many years.
A "gooder" is a sweet ride indeed.

no worries, a picture cant capture the height and weight of a horse lol... wish i could show you just how large he is... he is a silly big old goof! and he makes me look and feel like a wee little unworthy rider😀 but thanks, i will continue to use him and enjoy him to the fullest!He sure doesn't resemble a 16 hand, 1500 pound animal in that first picture and sorry, but that second truly does him no justice either.

He is not impressing me, either, but that is because I don't do cow horses, so donn't have the eye and the love for that look.

this photo shows a horse with a good hip, decent hock angles and good gaskins. thse shoulder is a bit steep, and the neck a bit short and undermuscled, but the shoulder is also powerful and that is what you need , right? His front legs are the onlly place that looks a bit under boned for his size; the knees look on the small side. He is probably a darn good working horse. I'd ride him if you let me! And, if you had a pretty mare you wanted to home breed, I think you might get another good working horse. But, I don't think others would pay for rights to breed to him.

I'm not going to critique your horse because your photographs aren't doing him any justice - it isn't fair to you and it isn't fair to the horse.
The shots make him look out of proportion because of the angles they're taken from.
Never have a saddle on a horse that you want a critique on - the saddle can hide back problems that could have a huge impact on what members are judging the horse as.
Clean him up and have him standing square to the camera and focus your shot so he looks correctly proportioned
Shots of him from the rear and the front are also helpful.
He sounds like a super useful horse so that's worth a lot.
Aim at getting a side shot that looks like this
