3 yrd old QH gelding

[surprisewind]

This is our latest project. 3 yr old running bred QH colt, gelded last Wednesday. He is grade, but I know his dam and have seen pics of his sire - and I have no idea why he is so short and goofy.

Feel free to be honest and blunt. I didn't breed him, so i won't take anything personally Also, if you have any ideas about what disciplines I should steer him towards, that would be nice. I have a couple of ideas but think he might just be too ... quiet.

He is THE most laid back, relaxed, unflappable guy. Minimal handling post-weaning, but he does remember most of his early lessons. Teaching him to load was a breeze. We were geared up for a very time consuming thing and it took a 1/4 of the time we had though it would. I then taught him to say "anticlimax".

The spots on him are mud, and he came with those feet. They've been taken care of.

is he that ugly? I promise you won't hurt anyone's feelings. He can't read and I'm not his breeder.

A lot of times ppl on the board don't reply if the pictures are not good confirmation shots. Try to get pictures of him pretty squared up, and front and back.

But from what I can see, I like his hip, he seems to have a pretty nice shoulder, and he has a good short back, but his neck is thick, also I can't tell really well but it looks like he might have a big roman nose for his head, I don't much like that I am partial to the nice dishy heads. And I can't tell from the pictures if he toes in or out. But that is just my unprofessional opinion . If you get some better confirmation shots and post them I bet you will get more posts.

He is cute though, and good luck with him. You can't beat a good minded gentle horse. And in my book you can't even put a price on them.

The photos looked better before I uploaded it. The side shot is strangely squished. Don't quite know what I did to squash it like that. I'll just take some new pics and try again. I need front shot, too, yes?

His nose does appear Roman, I know. He's got a big lump that formed after a pasture injury a year or so ago (well before I got him). He had a cute-ish head before he did that.

I personally think the neck IS thick and I don't like the way it ties in. I'll see what you guys think with different photos before I take him to the plastic surgeon. A bad neck is a pet peeve with me for no particular good reason.

He was gelded a couple days after I posted this, and he's even more laid back now. Almost to the point of irritation. Serious racing lines top and bottom, dam a total bitchy firecracker, and I can't get him to MOOOOVE.

I've even tried singing "you've got to move it move it."
