Conformation Critique Please!

This is Batista! He is QH/TB/Warmblood (I think Oldenburg, but I’m not 100% sure). This picture was taken when he was 6 years old, recently gelded, and about 2 months into consistent work. He is not my horse (owned and bred by Double C Ranch) but I worked with him and trained him for about 6 months. I loved him to death and thought he was absolutely gorgeous,  so I’m interested to hear what others think about his conformation. He’s a very fancy horse that showed a lot of potential.

5 Months Later…

wow

I just wanted to share how much Maxi has improved since first arriving here in California back in November.  It’s amazing how much just a couple months and some good strengthening can do for a horse!

Please judge us….From hits last year

Your thoughts on this mare?

My friends older 16’2h warmblood mare that she is thinking about breeding for a 2014 foal, seen here sailing over 4ft. My friend would like to have the judges (or anyones) opinion on her! Sorry for her being dirty in the conformation pic, she’s been out in pasture all winter and its still too cold for a bath to get her stains out!

XC Schooling with American Hope

Is XC his thing?

He sure likes to know what’s on the other side! He is not the most confident on the XC course and often jumps me out of the tack. He is incredibly talented. I want to do right by my boy. Any tips would be helpful!
