Hi everyone, would it be possible for some of you lovely people to do a conformation critique on my new horse?He hopefully will become an eventer, as he is only 4 and big am planning on taking time to bring him on; but if I know his weakness I can try to strenghten these. So, could you please critque him for me? and just to show him in action, this was him 2 weekends ago at his first ever dressage comp, in the prelim :) he got 69%. Oh, and apologies if this is in the wrong place!See More

onlyme commented on William Micklem's blog post 'HELP NOT HINDER – Part 6 – Weight is great!'

Another great post William! And I enjoyed the article in H&H, it was very informative and useful :) I think it is so important for the horse to learn to "re-balance" its weight with the rider on top, but a lot of horses are ridden on a…

I don't have much time now, but I could tell you a lot more later today, so I might comment again. He has a very steep and long slope from his croup to his dock, which usually means a shortened gait but lots of power. thick throatlatch, that…

ok, thank you :) I will remember to let him stretch and relax before asking for flexion, as then that may help him.

His throatlatch looks better in the action photos, but I am still getting a feeling of blockage somewhere in that area. Just be patient as you ask for flexions. As I said before this is a nice horse, I would not mind working with him at all.

good technique is never a problem, all you have to do is take shorter lines to the jumps .. he looks super in the dressage!!

Thanks for replying :) His style is also one of our bigger problems, because we tend to spend too long in the air which creates time faults :P We have been at 1* level for a year now, I hope to move up to intermediate at some point next year but…

onlyme replied to onlyme's discussion 'Could you help me on his conformation?'

thank you for replying :) Being thick through the throatlacth, that means that he would find it more difficult to flex correctly? He is just under 8 inches of bone, but is inbetween riding horse and LW hunter showing classes. Will work on lower leg,…

Hi Onlyme, I don't think there are to many conformation 'problems' with this horse. He has a super style over the jumps!! You've done a great job on this horse, getting him to 1* is a big deal. How long have you been in 1*? What…

Jackie Cochran replied to onlyme's discussion 'Could you help me on his conformation?'

He is a nice horse. Forehand faults--Somewhat thick through the throatlatch. Light bone (cannon) below the knee. Long steep front pasterns. Hindquarter faults--The hind leg is slightly overangulated. The gaskins look adequately muscled. It would…

Could you help me on his conformation?

Hi everyone :)Was wondering if you could possibly critique my horse's conformation?I am trying to see his bad points and good points, but need a little guidance as to whether they are correct! :P I think he is weak in his second thigh (try saying that with a lisp!!) and is slightly straight of ideal behind... what do you think?Feel free to rip him apart, as the more I know that is weak the more I can orientate his workload to improve the weak parts!Sooo, he is my boy - he is 8 and events. Has…See More
