what think of this horse?

[Taliesin]

You are also correct regarding the American Saddlebred -- they have high showy action and are usually gaited. Long necks, high heads -- not well built for jumping, unlike Selle Francaise.

I actually really like him,although i would like to see quite a bit more over all condition on him,even as a 3 yr old more condition would'nt harm,nice horse though.

Hi, I am new here, so forgive me if this post ends up in the wrong place or something.

This board is very dominated by QH and western horsemen and women. Not a bad thing at all, it just explains the questions on breed and confirmation critiques. I ride western too, but I mainly ride dressage Cross Country and english.

I really like this horse. He is very much what I would look for in an eventer.

WOW! Very uphill! This is very desirable in a dressage horse.

Nice bone as far as I can see, and nice shoulder also. I bet he can extend a mile!

As far as muscle, he is only three. Warmbloods grow and develop well into their 6th year. He is nice and tall and I think will muscle out nicely.

Don't push him though. They are late bloomers, and you don't want to break him down from too much too soon. I wouldn't jump him at all untill late in his 4th year, and even then, just lightly and short.

Very nice event prospect.

EQB - by the way, I like your profile name.

Julie is in France, and I think she breeds these horses. We have had a hard time communicating with her, but I for one, and others here too, love those horses. I agree with everything you said. Don't you love that uphill build? Selle Francais. I don't think there are a lot of them in the US, but what do I know, I don't. Man, would loooove to have one of those boys. And you're right, what an eventer, eh? Julie seems to know alot about them, if only we could chat better. She hasn't been here, though, since she posted that in May. Welcome, though, look forward to having you around.

I think this is a lovely horse, uphill and suited well for dressage and jumping. My only preference would be that of a slightly longer neck, or one that attaches higher into the chest. Other than that, his conformation makes him and attractive horse.
