Height: 15H
Horses current job and future intended uses: Started in dressage starting to jump. Dressage/hunter prospect

Sorry I didn't take front and rear views will try to get those later.

Be as harsh as you'd like.

I actually think she's breathtaking, only fault I can see is maybe her back is a little long? When I read her cross I kind of scrathed my head, but it seems to have worked out well. And I am loving that huge trot... I take it she is not gaited?

She is a nice looking mare.

Although her back does look long, when I used a ruler, her shoulders, back and hindquarters are actually equal; she is a very well proportionned mare.

Good length to her shoulder, and a nice long humerous, so should have a big sweeping stride (as shown in the lunging photos). Nice high point of shoulder, so should have cute jumping form.

Hind end also looks good, but illium may be slightly too sloped for easy collection. Built nicely for thrust/jumping. Nice low stifle for some scope.

Might be slightly camped under behind, but hard to tell from the photos.

Her topline is kind of odd, but i don't know if it is good or bad. I think her LS joint may be a bit too far ahead of her hip though...in which case she will be prone to hind end/hip weakness/soreness. That is something easier to feel than see in a photo though.

Hard to see her neck in the photos. Possibly a little thick and curved down on the bottom side.

Overall I like this mare. I think she would best suite low level dressage (up to second level) and also being a hunter despite her small size as her stride looks like it would be big.

With the looooong back on this girl and the kind of flat croup it gives her top line a funny appearance. I like her head, can't really tell about her neck, it looks like it may be a little thick. I like her eyes too.
