| The pictures are not conformation judgeable, but from what I can see I don't think I like his knees and he seems to be lacking straightness in his legs. Hocks might be a little high and straight and back a little long. Overall he lacks balance. From these pictures he looks like he would be heavy on the front end. Could be picture angle and awkward stance. He does have a cute head. :)
This is just my unprofessional .02 so take it for what it's worth lol

| I agree that the picture doesn't let you see much. I also agree that the pasterns look long. The picture also makes him look unbalanced. But a bad picture can make a great horse look like the ugliest plug on the face of the planet so take any opinions with a grain of salt. |

| Agreed with above post about his knees. Back end could be growing pains, but not too cracked up about it. |

| Shoulder looks too steep, looks like he is going to have a thick neck, as others have said he looks crooked in the knees, pasterns a little long (I find these take a very good farrier from becoming underslung).
Forearm to cannon bone ratio, I would like to see a shorter cannon bone.
Very pretty face, kind eye |

| My two complaints I have are that he is over in the knees and his shoulder is too straight. The knee issue will probably cause some lameness issues in the future and straight shoulder keeps a horse from having a good reachy stride. |

Location: MI | I think he is a very cute colt! His knees don't bother me a bit at this age. I'll take a bit over at the knees WAY before I'd take one behind or calf kneed. His neck will more than likely lengthen as he matures. His back is short enough and his bottom line is much longer than his top. He has adequate hip to propel. Most all babies look high in the hocks at this age. Only thing I would change is head is too short and cute. The head is the radiator and needs to be able to take in air. The fact that he's so darn cute, the right color, and everything looking fairly balanced right now means if could buy him right, I'd chance it. If he doesn't pan out, cute and color sells! You could drive the wheels off a dually trying to find one cuter. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | The knees dont bother me at all either hes still a baby, and alot of times I see them grow out of being over at the knees, now one that is calf kneed I wont bother with they are the ones I worry about having issues later in life. I have my gelding that is over at the knees and hes never took a lame step in his life and hes 22..
I like your baby Ropinbuzz hes a pretty fella, I wish these were better pictures of him so I can see what his rear looks like, I love a pretty hip and wide butt but cant see his very well, like that short pretty head and big eyes hes got kind eyes, he looks like a super sweet baby.. If I were in the market for another I would be giving him another look..  |

After seeing his breeding I would sure want to take a second looky looky at him. Really like Perkster and love the Tuf N Busy horses. Maybe the pictures are not doing him justice. |
