    Default What a looker....

    Don't know if this guy has been posted anywhere on COTH or not...

    But anyone that would like to purchase him may send him straight to my barn. I'll PM you the address. He's 'Don't Touch the Root' on Final Furlong's site.

    The angle of the left hind pastern scares me.
    Lovely otherwise!

    His back legs bother me. It could just be a bad shot - but he looks uncomfortable to me. Again - a photo is just a split second....he's otherwise very, very handsome!

    Whoops, just linked to the first photo. Here's the second, slightly less awkward stance: http://www.finalfurlong.ca/uploads/4...7_orig.jpg?202


    This guy is also pretty cute:

    That picture is much better! You can never tell from a single shot, can you?

    Look at THIS mare named Sneak Peek:

    I think she'll be claimed before she's even available!

    His RF ankle looks about the same as the grey mare's, if you ask me.... could be the angle of the leg, could be something, could be nothing. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss.

    I disagree on Sneak Peek. She looks like she's about to lift up on that right front which could give the illusion of a clubbed foot or swelling of the tendon. I would like to see a second picture of her with even weight on that foot to make that judgement for sure.

    Same with the first horse. I'd like to see another picture of him or see him in person to make the determination that I'm not seeing a bad angle or weird shadowing before writing him off!

    Question legs again

    in addition to very obvious sickle hocks; his right front leg looks suspect; is that tendon inflamed/ swollen

    and he is NICE. Huge lovely walk. Amazing topline for a TB in training. The chuckwagon people will give him 4k for this horse but I'd love to see him go to a sporthorse home. He is probably the nicest horse we've listed. I have a horse from the same trainer. If anyone is interested pm me and I'll send all the pics we took of him. He was good to handle, too.

    I really like the first chestnut. Would vet him but a nice looking horse if he's sound. I bet he would make a good 3' hunter, he has a very calm, relaxed look in his eye. He's uphill but with a nice hind end, just my type. When he fattens up he'll look like a WB.

    I like the looks of the first grey mare.... But those low heels worry me! I know proper footwork helps, but I've already had one with low heels and lately it's been quite the headache!

    Thought some folks might like to know that the New Vocations "Sneak Peek" mare above (really named "Call Me Evelyn" ) has found a new home with someone who recently lost her OTTB in a barn fire. A happy ending to a terribly sad story...
