What strikes me is the difference a pose &/or camera angle can make đ˛ Look at those front legs in both pics đ˛ Hopefully the lower one best depicts them Having said that, she's lovely.

She's well-proportioned, a pretty colour and will be quite elegant when she's fully grown. I don't think I've ever seen an ugly MDO foal.
In the sales photo it looks like she has a very slight grazing foot in her left front. If a horse continuously grazes with one foot in front and one behind, eventually the one behind will start to look clubby. Contracted muscle on the back (weight-bearing) leg will pull up the deep digital flexor tendon which will pull up the heel relative to the toe. Attentive farriery, plenty of stretching, and perhaps a bit of in-hand dressage (for balance and equal strength on both sides) will mitigate this. |

Significant improvement by the time picture 2 was taken. Filled out and grew more bone

Well here we go again folks.
Here's a photo of our 2yo filly after she'd finished her first basic preparation a week or so ago. Any comments would be appreciated. |

I like her shoulder lay and front, good angulation, nice length of rein, hope as she matures will get a bit more body (girth). Stands covering a lot of ground, hope this translates into stride length.

Horse A passed in for $50,000. Horse B sold for $90,000. We appear to have got it right.

Liked the look of this at first sight, however at second glance thought he may have had a particular fault. Any comments including possible faults would be very much appreciated.

at a quick glance, behind at the knee, also may have an overbite (doesn't worry me)

Shrunk, in answer to your query, the filly is by Skilled from Treasury Notes making her a half-sister to Money Maher.

That last photo SC has put up. Those back legs from hoof up to first joint area looks funny to me, but maybe just the photo. They look swollen ?

Well I've seen a lot worse, a little short of rein and could be a little humor build up in hind joints otherwise nothing outlandish imo.

The off front is slightly tilted forward giving the impression he is slightly " back" at the knee with the near fore, however all round he's not my cup of tea.

Thanks for everyone's input.
I was most concerned about being back at the knee.

In the photo I don't like the look of the off fore leg in the Pastern area

looks like a ring/side bone on the off fore, or maybe just superficial scarring from a paddock injury, I am sure an astute inspection would have sorted it..

Arenât the two front heels completely different? Like two different horses. One very low, and one very high?

I can't get over the irregularity of heel height in all 4 feet & the bloody thing is only a yearling

interestingly the hoof with the dodgy coronet has the most heel.

Both front legs from Knees down look very suspect. If expected to run early on its present set-up it would very likely break down

Agree GAJ, it was the potential ringbone that may be there that I saw. Having said that, photos are mostly good for coat colour and a general first impression. You must inspect the horse! I have seen many photos that look good and when you see the yearling it was not what it looked like in the photo and also vice versa. Anyway the yearling in question was by I Am Invincible and the hype on him with his results mean they generally sell for overs |
