    Please critique my mare

    She is 6 this year - though I do not have any good recent photos of conformation. She is a warmblood cross, sired by a dutch stallion. She is a hunter right now, though I'd like to transition her into eventing as she gets older and more experienced.

    This is her as a long yearling:

    This is her as a three year old:

    What do you think of her? Thank you in advance.

     She is beautiful.  Nice coloring.  Good luck with your new discipline?

    I think that she is all wrong for you and you should just give up and send her to me.  I'll see what I can do with the poor thing.  LOL!!!!!  Totally kidding.  She is quite lovely!!!!  I'd like to see a pic of her now because she made nice progress between one and three and I'd like to see if that continued.

    Haha, well, if you have lots of food, she'll follow you home. Loyalty is several steps below food to her. :)

     I sadly don't have any good current conformation shots - I have a couple from a show last fall though. Please excuse our slipped saddle pad, though!

    Here's a small shot of her more recently - but not great for conformation as she is wearing boots:

    Thank you for the comments, though. I am quite fond of her, but I'm trying to make sure I'm not barn blind!

    Shes one of the lucky few that didnt look hideous as a yearling, she actually looks quite nice! (believe me, it is impossible to find a yearling that doesnt resemble a camel).

     Overall shes nice, Id like a better loin/hip connection, and a little more natural muscling over the croup. Her neck has a decent shape, but should be set a little higher and have more arch.

    Other than that a very nice mare!!!

     Just from her 3yo pic.  I like that she looks fairly balanced with decent legs on her and nice feet.  Her shoulder could have a little more angle and I'd like to see her neck tie in higher on her chest, but it's not terrible.  She's awfully cute!
