 I think it's virually impossible to make an acurate assessment of comformation based on pics of horses moving. Do you have one of him standing side on Sarah

8-)ps He certainly has a cracking good shoulder, but you really can't see his limbs.

Yes,Gail,
He is the more 'baroque' type of PRE,they are bred compact and close coupled so that they have the power for collection.
Some end up too upright and tight in the shoulder which can restrict the lateral work,but this one has a decent slope and also a good free movement there.

Overall a pleasing picture - nothing exactly jumps out - one or two things I'd want to see closer on a nice sideways pic tho. SS3 is right - side on pics would help!
