| I don't like the hip. To me it is a weak hip, the horse should stop well. |

Location: In a happy place | I really see nothing that stands out that is bad about her confirmation. I really like the way she stands under herself. The one thing I would change is what everyone else would love...I like a longer back. I love long backed horses and hardly anyone else does. I think she is nice. |

| She is standing a little rigid, but from what I see, her neck is a little short and thick and ties in low. I think if she had a longer, cleaner neck it would really help her overall appearance. She is definitely stocky. Just by looking at her, I think you'd have power, but I'd worry about athleticism. I would definitely want to see her move out and watch her foot work. Just my .02 :) |

| Is this a current photo?
She looks front end heavy and weak in the hip. Even in this photo, it looks like one little push from behind and she'd fall on her nose. She is thick through the throatlatch and neck, plus she has upright pasterns, which will contribute to her being front-end heavy.
If she is a quarter horse, the lack of muscling in her hip would be a big red flag for me and I'd probably walk away before even looking at the rest of her. Her front end issues can contribute to the weak hip and I would expect it to be difficult for her to remain balanced and to engage and get power from it.
Honestly, when I first saw the photo, I questioned whether or not she was a quarter horse....still wondering that, actually.

She is not quite 2 years old.
The horse rump in front of her belongs to a warmblood.
She has been babysitting this gelding colt for the past year and my girlfriend will be bringing her home in a couple weeks.
We plan to get better photos then with her standing a little more correct than what this photo is.
