Bear has gained some weight (though he isnt filled out yet) since the last time I asked for any critique, so I thought it would be fun to get an nice and easy critique from you guys! I wont ask for a full out, full blown critique until he is filled out and such. So I guess just give a simple critique covering the basics please. =]
Background and what I want to do with him:
17.2hh (roughly, probably a bit smaller) Thoroughbred (dont know his lines as I dont have his papers) gelding. Used to be a 3' "A" hunter. Going to be a 2'6"-2'9" horse probably, unless he is schooling those heights with ease, then I will bump him back up to 3'. Hoping to do some smaller, local, "B" shows and lots of schooling shows. Hoping to get him up to 1st level dressage in a year or two (only schooling, might show intro (probably going to do) and training). Will be doing HUS and such too. Maybe some 4-H..? Someone said I should do eventing with him, but I dont think him or I could handle cross country (I am setting up a small "xc" course in my field this summer to find out). He is alright at western, but needs work as he is SO big. He is going to need a lot of work, but it will be worth it!
Pictures (these were the best I could get):
^^ Just cause he is cute. =]
Do you guys think he looks sway backed? He doesnt look that sway backed to me, but someone said he did. "/ I think he just has super high withers. ;]
