Location: Ft Worth TX | He looks like a SUPER nice horse... Only things I would knock him on conformationally from that pic is his pasterns appear a little upright and he looks a hair long in his back :) |

Location: Qld Australia | From the photo she is a little long in the back and a little short in the neck. I' d love to wave a magic wand and put the extra body length into her neck. However, I LOVE her too. I had a red roan mare built exactly like this, she was only 14.2hh and an absolute powerhouse. Tons of heart and don't anyone tell her she was not quite built right lol.
Good luck with purchasing her, as I said, I really, really like her, faults and all.  |

| She looks conformation wise like my buckskin, i thought a little light on bone plenty of body. Butmshe could haul booty and did not matter wheather i kept fit looking or,she got into grass she still could run. She would still be running today if she had not fell and tore her some ligiments in her stifle and damaged her mensicus. And she has several full brothers and sisters still running. The man i bought her from told me several weeks ago he wish he had not sold her to,me. I bought sight unsean, some one that was helping those people convienced them she was too small she was 14.2 as a two year old just a tad over 15.0 now, i love ahe is 18 now i have a baby just like her who is 13.2 and six months old and a spittin image with a blase. |

Location: Great NW | If I were being PICKY I would like her back to be a bit shorter and I would like a little more slope to her shoulder and I would like the withers a bit more pronounced again that is being really picky - nice mare. too bad no papers but that happens - nice diamond in the not-so-rough! plus she is a roan which makes everything better :) |

| I am far from a conformation critic, but I am just curious as to how you determine her back to look long? When I glance at her pic, I think she looks short-backed. What am I missing? |

Im the same way. Compared to her underline it looks short to me but I'm definitely not good at critiques which is why I'm asking lol |

Location: Texas! | I think the length she has to her underline makes up for the length of the back, which is not THAT long to me anyway. I think she is FANCY! I honestly think she looks great! Depending on what your wanting of course, she is slightly finer boned (i said finer not fine) and like others say that is being wayyyyy picky because she is a dang sure head turner!
ETA I like the set to her hocks and shoulder!

Location: CA | I like the way her neck ties into her shoulder as well as the slope of her shoulder. It looks like her front end could get out of the way of her hind end in one heck of a hurry. Also, not sure what the conclusion of the study was, but when I was in college, UC Davis was doing a study on fine bones vs. thick/larger bones. In the majority of cross sections of bone, they found the finer bones to be more dense and solid, while the larger bones were much more pithy. Personally, I always look for a little finer bone, but with larger, more pronounced joints. Everyone likes something different. I think she's a really neat looking mare. |

| What I see, honest opinion.
Nice hip.
Good shoulder.
Down hill just a little. Might make it a little harder to learn to get underneath herself.
Skinny neck, short neck(my opinion though).
Clean legs, though the fronts look a little tooth picky, wish she had more bone to them.
Top line is decent, could use a little muscling.
Good back(I think). I think its just her barrel underneath that gives her the 'assumption' of a long back.
Low set hocks, which is great for them getting underneath themselves.
Pasterns on the back look good. I think pasterns on the front are a little long, but it could be her hooves throwing me off. Because they do look a little big.
Over all nice mare, if she's smooth and what you are looking for get her. Doesn't matter if she doesn't have papers unless you plan on breeding her. I'd take her home for sure. She looks like she can cover ground as well.
