Critiqu my horse

[Lady Redhawk]

I have a couple of pictures from yesterday and thought I would ask what you thought of him. I didn't get pictures from the front or back, but if you can tell any thing from the pictures I do have, that would be great. He is standing slightly uphill.

He is 5 years old, trained for Western Pleasure, but my husband wants to get more speed out of him. (he thinks Western Pleasure is too sissy)

This is his pedigree:

Thanks

there are other things besides WP or Speed events. if the horse has some speed you could try that direction but if not, I would try something else. maybe reining, working cow horse, something along those lines. just tell him to have fun and try to keep it fun for the horse. He really doesn't look to have the build of the so called "todays" western pleasure horse. is he any good at it?

Well, he's very straight legged in back, but it could be the way he's standing. These aren't really very good pics to show off a horse. One thing I notice is that he is not in good conidtion. His topline is poor, so its difficult to imagine how he uses himself when working. He does not look like a WP type. He probably will show himself better when he is in better condition. Keep us updated with what you do with him!

He reminds me of a walking horse except his neck is too short for that. Pretty color and I like his face but it reminds me of walking horse too. Seems to have a nice angle to his shoulder. Looks like a comfortable ride.
