Hey arab folks!

What are you guy's thoughts/opinions on this Arab gelding??

Here's some info on him: Foaled March 2000, 15.0 hands, 900 lbs. Sire was Mendacious and dam was Amurath Solitude (she apparenly has Bask in her lines) if that helps any

Do you think he'd be okay at dressage (I'm talking lower levels)? I like the fact he appears to have a soft eye to him.

One of him trotting (not the best shot I fear

)

I think he's very pretty, and considering you just want to do the lower levels I can't imagine he'd have any problems.

He looks nice to me, though an expert I am not, I just don't see anything major wrong, or anything that would keep him from doing anything you would like to.

Good luck, he's very handsome.

I think he is very nice....he sure is cute.

hum.. I think he would do great in the local hunter ring for sure and WOW I love the neck look at that stretch and I bet you could get an awsome hook out of it too I think he would put himself nicley together just by looking at his structher and over all apperance!! But if he's got movement well humm... I think I would snatch him up and lowere levle dressage/ hunter basicaly go in the same frame too!! I think he look great and would suite what you want him for and I would try him hunter too

If you are showing in arab shows he's a nice looken boy

Do you have any more action shots of him so you can see his movement better?

gail · 08-24-2003 03:12 PM

He is a looker.......I say start him in training, and he'll let you know if he doesn't like it...........he may take you down a different path that you haven't even thought of.
And Arabians are extremely versatile you know.....lol Especially at the lower levels in all disciplines.

I say---ENJOY him.!

Terra · 08-27-2003 08:30 PM

is it just me, or does his neck look a bit long?

Bruderchen · 08-27-2003 10:20 PM

wow what a handsome boy.

Conformationally speaking, the top picture is taken on an angle that makes it hard to acurately judge his angles but I don't see ANYTHING about him that would make me say he wasn't able to do lower levels and maybe even higher. he is a very balanced, well put together horse.

Actually for an arabian dressage prospect I wouldn't change a thing about him. Myabe a bit straight in the hind legs, but that really is hard to tell from this angle.

I really like him!
