Come on then - horse opinions wanted

[indibindi]

3.5 year old part Knabstrupper filly.

Thoughts on price, what you think she would be good for in the future and her overall conformation please.

Looking forward to your thoughts





No nasties, this is someone elses horse remember... just constructive criticism.

good slopin shoulder, short backed, slightly ewe knecked so could do with some long and low work to build top line. at the moment the muscle is developed to much at the front end so again when under saddle by working long and low encouragin the horse to work from behind will give a beautifull chap in the future to come. I would use her for happy hacker/dressage poss endurance. this horse will be a beauty

Uh forgot price, when workin nicely on the flat and carrying herself a little better would pay 3 for her

[indibindi]

Thanks. Is it me or are her hind legs not quite right? Could be the pic though. She's done nothing so far I should say.

[specialsparkle3]

Not one for me. Your chestnut foal will be a hundred times better horse.

[holly]

I thought the same but she is not squared up so did not want to comment on something not really apparent. Could possible have slightly turned out toes, but with farriorin and a good rider to help posture will be minimal. i think

[specialsparkle3]

ps I won't comment on conformation, as you say " it's someone's horse" so I'll leave it at that.

I think her shoulder looks a little on the upright side and her quarters look a bit weedy, as do her hindlimbs, but she is still growing I guess! Not one that would call out to me, but she's cute overall! xx

i owuld comment on conformation as i know nothing about it
she is only young and still growning
but she is a stunner

[holly]

can i ask is the owner wantin to sell or just get opinions on were to start. Smudge you are a good rider and judge of horses chic, waht have you said

[varkie]

I agree with SS3 on this one. Even taking into account that her conformation would be odd because of being young, she isn't one I'd be interested in, I wouldn't buy her, and I'm afraid I wouldn't value her.

I'm trying very hard to be nice - I'm sure she is a sweet filly, and very loved by someone, but nothing about her makes her of interest to me.

[megnum]

I quite like her although I agree her back legs look slighlty odd but that could just be how she is standing and angle

[indibindi]

I would value your opinions off board SS3 and Varkie - would you PM me if you get chance? Cheers

[holly]

mmm intriged now. Is there something your not tellin us smudge

[indibindi]

Nope - its a genuine enquiry. I was thinking of buying another foal to grow with mine and this one has cropped up - but I'm a sucker for spots. I won't rush into anything though and will wait till next year if I need to

[holly]

ah, not quite sure it is one for you chic. Nice horse but not sure if the one for you if you no what imean
