I was looking at this picture yesterday. I actually like everything about his looks, EXCEPT his friggen ankles. In this picture does, is it just me, but does he not look like he has HUGE friggen ankles? His lower leg looks friggen awful. Am I crazy? Now I am not an expert on horse's confirmation, but I like the rest except for his lower legs.

You couldn't pay me to breed to a horse with legs like that (sorry Buffy....I know you like him). It isn't just his ankles...it is his whole freaking leg. It's hard to see, but look at how swollen and capped the points of his hocks are. His knees are slightly bent forward (bucked) too. No wonder they couldn't run the horse in the BCC last year. Sheesh. His angles on his pasterns are off..at least, I think that they are...I can't really tell because you can't see his hooves and his ankles are so darn swollen. I don't think he is stocked up. His pasterns look too clean for him to be stocked up. I think that it is just him.
His head and neck are absolutely beautiful though. He is a very pretty horse to look at.
