"It looks like you have it a little too far forward" Not the first person to notice that - I have that tendency particularly if I am in a hurry. Being in a hurry never a good thing with a

I had serious issues with my Arabian. Prominent withers, short back, "well sprung ribs" so that his 'bar type' was FQH bars but the saddles were too long. JMO on your picture. I would set that saddle back a little bit. It looks like you have it a little

Thanks for the saddle tips! I did have a fitter out and a tracing done. Funny thing is it's like he's two different ½'s of a horse lol…..The front (gullet) is too wide on what I have and when I put my tracing against most semi QH bar sad

Hard to tell if he is built downhill because it looks like he's standing downhill :) I really like him. He has nice angles to his shoulder and pasterns, short cannon bones, his withers look OK to me-not uneven with his rear. His

He is a nice looking horse. I had the same issue with finding a saddle for my mare, I went through about 10 to 12 of them, and finally had to up my price range, BUT thats was 7 years ago, and I am still using that saddle on a regular, so it was

Yes he is standing downhill a bit (I take horrible pictures). Thanks for the reply and the welcome Dana. I have been saddle shopping on and off. I have an older Crates that I really like but it's a small for me and not a perfect fit for

I don't know much about conformation....at all. To me wonky withers (long and high). Does he also look downhill?

Hi Annalee-He's a PMU some 1/2 of him is a mystery but I know his sire was a 17.2 percheron/paint (splashy black and white). I only have a picture of his mother and she looks to be either an appendix quarter or TB with some Clyde in there possibly.

Yes, those qualities come from the draft. What kind of a cross is he? I think he is quite lovely :) And those qualities are not a bad thing, and are acceptable for a draft. He looks to be very athletic and a very happy boy :)

Thank you. Those faults are probably the draft in him? His best part is his brain :)

I'd love to have my Cody done-he's a mutt. I don't really have any conformation shots so let me know if these will work. Thanks! http://inlinethumb61.webshots.com/4028/2307427020102852126S600x600Q85.jpg http

I don't think it was. After I started her on English she refused to run any gymkhana patterns anymore. I think maybe she just found it to be more fulfilling for her.
