I like him a lot. He may have a bit of a long back, but to me he looks like he would do well at most disciplines. Maybe not speed with fast turning, but most anything else.
I am not sure if you are talking about competition, but along with conformation there is the horse's attitude or "try". I was told that my mare wouldn't really be a jumper, she didn't have the conformation for it. A trainer helping me with the canter discovered last winter that that my mare will jump "all day" and has much more scope than her conformation would suggest. She absolutely loves jumping! I may get a chance next summer to have her shown with another rider at something over the usual 18" I jump just to see how she does in competition.
So if you have a discipline in mind that Rowen may not look like he is built for, it may be that he loves it and his attitude will make up for the conformation.
Again, he is a very nice looking horse and I would ride him as a Hunter if it were me.
