I like his build - excellent hip, top line and undergirth. Long graceful neck that ties in well to his shoulder and throat - small ears, beautiful head, soft eye, and well set shoulder.. He should do very well for the purposes you have chosen him for.

He's absolutely gorgeous! Everything is perfect. The only thing I see is his neck may be a bit long but he will grow into that as he is very young. I LOVE his head!

I really like this little fellow. Reminds me of my bay gelding at that age. Anyway, he has a nice topline, round hip with good leg angles. Nice neck length and a good shoulder. Good deep girth with nice withers. His head is set nicely and is a nice shape. Soft eyes and alert ears. The only thing I see right now is a little large at the jaw. He is two and probably going through the growth thing, which I am sure accounts for this. Overall pleasant to look at, and He will do well for you.

Thanks a lot for the kind reactions

I am very happy with my "Buck"
Do you guys think he is suitable for the '2-year old Halter Geldings'?

**gbarmranch** · 08-14-2007, 10:05 AM

Since I don't show halter, I don't know what to tell you there - but I don't see why not - he is stunning.. He will clean up in WP if he rides like he looks..

He is gorgeous! If you are going to do halter, he looks like he could use a little more exercise to me, but I know how hard it is to balance that (you wouldn't want to overwork him and cause long term damage just to win halter shows).

Lovely, lovely, lovely.. the only problem I see is that he is short in the croup, but he has a nice short back and strong looking loins so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. He could make a nice hunter one day.

He is a pretty gelding with a great coat, that shows his owner takes pride in him for sure! He has good straight legs and should move pretty...now that being said, I would not say he is a halter horse...His top and bottom line seem a little off and maybe his neck is a little long..now that being said...I know from experience that pictures can make things look off some. He should have a good stride and make a good riding horse

Lovely boy you have their, the only flaws I can find IMO are that he looks cruched up, and his neck may be a bit too long for his body. Other than that is a a cutie with color to boot! I love bays..

He has a cute head, and he looks like he will be a nice rider, he doesn't have enough of the natural muscle definition to be a halter horse, and his neck ties in a little low for that too, but over all hes a nice looking horse.
