I differ in opinion a bit here. I don't see many similarities between your bay horse and this golden one you are considering. the younger horse's hind end issues are not at all present in the bay. that bay has a nice rump, both in muscling and bone position/size/angle. He is not straight through the back legs.

The golden horse has a short thigh bone ( that is the one that goes from the point of the pelvis , like the farthest back point of his rump, to the stifle joint . then from there, the bone from the stifle to the hock is rather too much vertical, The lack of muscling on the gaskin also make that upper leg look weak.

The hock is in a rather 'open' position all the time, and that's why we say he is overly straight in the hind end.

He does have a short and upright pelvis, and overall a weak hind end in appearance. But, for a riding horse in lower level dressage and fun jumping, I bet he will be really nice. He does have a nicely sloped shoulder and that will influence how rough his gait is more than the too upright hind end. I would be that he has a really nice personality and he seems to be very even in his body as per that action shot.

For a horse to 'buy , train and flip',, I think he wold be an excellent investment.

He is gorgeous horse I think we will view and hope for the best apparently an amazing temperament and if he can do what I want then he can stay with us if not I can sell him for lower level. My older boy actually is quite good conformation just the way is standing early looked weird although here looks not perfect t either

Instead of form following function a horse's function follows form. No horse is perfect. Some are built better for certain tasks than others. Heart and try make a difference. There are absolute train wrecks that go on to stun the world with their accomplishments. If you are comfortable with how he rides. If he has no lameness issues. If he is not intended to compete at upper levels then it may be with the right rider he may do well at lower. How long he will is anyone's guess. If you have a specific task in mind then you should find the horse whose conformation is closest to ideal for that task.
