Ok, so she's got a very "maternal" figure from her career...she is seriously lacking in the hip/butt department and has some longish pasturns on her...a little sway to the back and a very slight ewe neck. Thats the bad.

She's got a nice head, and her legs seem nice and straight. She is sorely in need of getting back into shape but once there should look pretty nice. She's got nice muscle under the baby flub. Despite being slightly ewe, she's got a pretty nice neck with a clean throat latch to allow good flexing.

I love when people actually train and ride broodmares!

Nice head, low-set neck that doesn't attach well to the withers, straight shoulder, tied in below the knee, long in the back, weak L-S/loin combination, very short croup and lack of hind end, and maybe a bit camped out behind.

It's very good to know that she is being trained to be ridden.

Her back end is a little weak looking, her topline is in need of muscling and her shoulders are upright -which makes for bouncy trots usually- but she has a nice lady like head. I bet with a good work out routine she is going to be a really nice looking mare. She mostly lacks muscle which makes flaws more obvious.

Hopefully, she returns to work with an ok attitude and be a good buddy for your son!

I love Impressive bloodlines. I think she looks like a nice horse fairly well put together w/a nice head and decent neck, to me her legs are straight. She is nicely proportioned and with just a little work I think she will tone up and fill out her hip/butt. not to steal the thread but I like her shoulder angle and I noticed someone else said it was straight can you explain that, so I know that I am looking at it the right way. I am not being confrontational just wanting to be certain that I am judging it in the correct manner.
