Please critique My boy, He is a 15 hh, now 14yr old QH. His name is Ladys Nicker Bar, aka, Nick. I bought him in October, after I had to farewell my old ottb. This guys was trained as a reiner and working cow horse. He was at stud until he was 9yrs old. he has about 30 offsprings, here in BC and Alberta. Anyways when i bought him a family had him for 4h, but the kid lost interest, so for about 5 month he was sitting on a hay field doing nothing. also as i said he was a western horse, i have been riding him jumper and dressage and he loves it. so please let me know what you guys think. i haven't gotten a real confirmation pics from him, but i hope this is good enough. Thanks in advance

the first pic is when i first test rode him

He looks nice.  Do you plan on gelding him?

 He is very cute!! I like his colors. Good luck with him.

He is a stout little guy! Love that! The mare I lease is a chunky monkey, too (not saying fat... just stout). He seems to be enjoying his new job from the look of the video; ears pricked forward and all. Very cute.

hey sure is a stout! some of the ppl at the barn call him short, cuz he is so stout, his legs are pretty big! but he is 15hh. compared to my old tb he is short, my tb was 16'3hh. but i love this little guy! he is very sweet natured and all, not at all study, he couldn't car less. yeah he loves his jumping...when we free jump him and he clears a 3'3 jump he throws a little buck of "yay i did it" proudness after! 

right now we are thinking about gelding him, but as i said he is not at all study or acts like it.he is very quite and all, you can have mares around him in the barn alley and he doesn't care. but i do wanna turn him out with the herd sometime so yeah he's going to get chopped.
