Hey!
If you wouldn't mind, could you do a critique of my horse, Booker? I'd really appreciate it!

OK, in the first picture, it looks like he's standing camped-out in the back, and it also looks like his front feet need trimming. He looks like he's a bit calf-kneed in the first pic, but that could be due to the fact that he needs a pedicure. ;) His shoulder angle looks to be fairly straight, and he looks like he's lacking muscle in the hind end.

In the second and third pictures, his muscle and tone look MUCH better, but he looks to be a bit toed out in the front. That could be because he's not standing really square though. :) He looks good from the hind...not too close and not too wide, and he has the typical QH head with the huge jowls. ;)

He's really a handsome guy...I love the four socks and the star/stripe combo. :)

Hey!
Thanks for the comment!
The standing camped out in back was my fault...not so much his. Haha. I was trying to get him to stand square, and had his back legs in the wrong places. As far as I can tell, he doesn't stand like that naturally.

Agreed about tone in the second and third pictures...they're super old, back when I could ride every day. Ever since I've gone away to Uni, he hasn't had to work much =)

adding to this, his pasterns in the front look to be a tad on the long side
