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.
