Paint Stud - ok, people whack away!

[TX-WI]

I do not own this stud any more but I bred and raised him and his bloodlines are the base of my breeding program. I am a big girl and take your opinions at for what they are. I already know what I feel his conformation flaws are but am interested in what y'all have to say.

these pics were taken as a 2 yearold and he had just gone thru a growth spurt so his hip is higher than his withers. He was sold as a 3 year old.

here's his pedigree. His dam is now deceased and I have his half sister. His sire is also now deceased.

I think he's pretty nice, but as I have said, I'm no expert. I just thought I would tell you I like him.

What is it about him that you really like? That would be interesting to know

The black and white color contrast makes the symetry of the body unrevealing. Based on the photos, he appears to be fair. Again, it's difficult to assess if you are seeking a staunch opinion.

From the side shot, he looks o.k. As you already mentioned he is "butt high" , he also has a neck that is a little short and a throatlatch that could use some cleaning up (I know he is a stud, but he is only 2 in the photo). His head looks attractive, though not overly so. He looks slight on bone and a little tied in behind the knee on the front. He has a well developed Gaskin and Stifle in the rear with strong looking hocks and hocks that appear to have a good "set" to them. His back is a little long for my liking, but his underline is good. He looks fairly balanced, though it is hard to tell at this stage if his hip and shoulder angle are the same...in the photo the shoulder looks a little more "upright" than the hip angle. He does show a bump on the outside of the right hind just above the fetlock joint.

From the front and rear shots....he looks to toe out on the right front foot, he also has a splint mid way down on that leg...the left looks as though it might toe out slightly (though not as much as the right). It also looks like the rear feet are just very slightly toed out also (not as important to me as the front feet).

Overall, he has a nice enough look too him, and decent conformation...I would think he is a little too course to make a reiner, not big enough or have the stride for a WP or HUS saddle horse, but he does look as though he would be a good versatility ranch horse and or rope horse prospect.

These are just my opinions!

they've updated his webpage with more current pics.
