Okay this is my mom's horse. Here is a little background info.
16.2hh 10yo OTTB bay H/J gelding. He cribs and has ulcer problems.
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos -ak-s ... Since you can't see his topline very well with my mom riding him, here is a shot of him riderless.
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn .net/photos-ak-sn ... Not the highest quality but you get the idea.
I already know his conformational flaws - this is for fun, best answer to whoever best gets all his flaws/good points!
I don't have any front/back shots of him, so I will tell you that he's square in the front but he is a little bit cowhocked.
So you gave us that he is cowhocked,
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com
-He has a long croup which creates a bumb on his hind.
-It seems that he may be over in the knee a tad, either that or its just the photo
- His neck ties on a bit low onto his shoulders
-It SEEMS like he has enlargments on his front legs
- It looks like he has narrow whithers
Thats all i can see from these photos and angles.
He is gorgeous! And really not bad in confo
he looks gorgeous! His withers are a bit raised up i dont no what u would call that. But it makes a scoop in his back. Not swayed backed but in the 2 nd pic you can see what im talking about. he was a nice even color and looks calm but allert in both pictures. both his tail and mane are very nice. i hope you guys are working on the cribbing problem, im sure you are im just saying. he looks very sturdy.
ahhh I LOVE HIM! What a cutie.
he has a bigger throat latch-harder to get round and flex at the poll.
He is gorgeous undersaddle-the photo of him in the arena is hard to tell anything from.

Hes gorgeous
I'd mount that
He's cute - I'm not great at conformation so bear with me.
His shoulder is rather strait, his throat latch is a bit thick and I don't know if I would say he is ewe-necked, but does seem to lack a bit of muscling along his neck. Might even have a bit of a swan neck. His neck also looks a bit short in comparison to the rest of his body but again, that could be the angle of the picture. It's difficult to judge his topline because in the one photo he is under saddle and in the other it is at a strange angle. In the second photo it looks as if he has a slightly roached back. I like his hindquarters and tail set. His legs look strait with good bone, other than what you've already mentioned that he is cow hocked. That's about as much as I can tell from the pictures you provided.
