cant see much that I like on his pedigree.

but i like his color and hes not that bad lookin, but it looks like his neck ties in kind of sloppy in a couple of pics (and something else about his neck kind of bothers me, and i cant put my finger on it!!), cant see much muscling on his gaskin or forearm, and his hind pasterns look low in the close up of his legs and a few other pics but not as bad in others. he does have an OK head and like I said, i love his color!! he looks like a curious colt and looks friendly tho. what do you plan to do with him??

Mostly Trail. Very Happy

Maybe some teem penning and ranch cutting if I can get him muscled and toned up. He seams to be pretty cowey.
I see what your saying about his neck. I forgot to say about the first pics: When he was being loaded into the trailer to come to us, he kinda balked and gashed his chest open pretty bad. The first 5 pics are of his after the had been drugged, stitched and scrubbed. LOL, poor guy went through alot that day... Rolling Eyes

So, maybe the swelling is making it look that way, im not really sure.
It's gone down all now. I'll try to get some better pics later today it that would help. Very Happy

He's prolly pissed cos you put a pink halter on him!! <lol> Laughing

Just kidding. Keep in mind he's young, and still changing, so like any prepubescent and teen boy, he will have gawky phases.

LOL, I know. He does kinda look funny in it. It was origionally bought for my mare, but he likes playing with it so much, I let him wear it. Laughing

Deep down, I'm a really mean person...he thinks so anyway. Very Happy

He is pretty much "foundation" bred: Silver King, Blondys Dude, Poco Pine, etc...but these are all pretty far back. Overall he looks not too bad, he is ewe necked and his back is a little long for my preference. His head is kinda plain but he has a nice large eye. His balance looks pretty good. He has a good wither on him and his legs look pretty straight with some substance and no blemishes. My guess is that as time goes on he will come around a little. His neck should improve as he learns to bridle up and develop the muscles on the topside of his back, loin and neck.
