Wow, these two pictures look like different horses almost:)
Well, without seeing his movement, I can't tell you much about what disciplines he'll do well in. You'll probably find that out with what activities he seems to enjoy and how easy they are for him.
He seems to have an ok shoulder, not too straight, but it could be more laid back which allows for more reach. His topline isn't level, but that may come as he gets older, but right now he might have a hard time moving uphill off his forehand. He appears to have correct legs and good angle in his pasterns which allows for good, smooth movement.
Looks like he needs more work on strengthening his loins. His loin appears to be a little long, which makes it weak, so by asking him to collect (lift and round his back, maybe use side reins as well as use ground poles, this will also help correctly muscle his neck) and also doing backing exercises will help with that.

He appears to have a nice clean neck and throat latch which will make it easy for him to flex at the poll and arch his neck. He looks like a hunter type horse to me, but it will all depend on what he enjoys and does best . He may end up excelling in dressage or jumping or both, you never know. He looks like a pretty well put together horse though!
Since there is only one photo of the left side which shows one big beautiful horse with a nice head and neck I can't see enough to give good ratings as for his conformation. Wish you had picks of both sides and both ends. He like his owner is quite nice to look at.
Ron .. don't hit on her TT
