I am looking into doing dressage and jumping with her, and based on her conformation do you think she would be good at those? And how high would you guess she could jump for shows and stay sound, and what level of dressage would you guess she has potential at? Also in one of the picture her front legs look turned in but they are not really like that. And i realize you cannot tell me for sure by just looking at pictures, i would just like guesses and info on why you guess that .. Also could you tell me the positive parts of her conformation as well as the faults in it?

First off, I am SUPER happy to hear you are considering a Camelot horse. (:

You didn't give us much information about her. How old is she? Does she have experience in show jumping and/or dressage? If not, are you capable of training her? These are all things to consider.
She has nice shoulders and good muscle tone. The best jumpers normally have a long humerus. A long humerus means that the horse will have a longer stride and will be able to move his legs away from the rib cage which helps make a jumper a jumper . A shorter humerus could result in a choppier stride ..
She appears to have a medium-longish humerus, making her a good prospect for beginner/intermediate show jumping.
The hind quarters provide the power. She has nice strong hind quarters. She has a nice long neck and her hocks form a nice closed angle.
A dressage horse needs to have a lot of forward reach from his shoulder. As with jumpers, dressage horses should have a long humerus.
Both hunter and jumper horses should have a high-set neck. This horse has a beautifully set neck. It's long and it's got a lot of height to it.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com She has a short back. And her withers appears to be shorter than her croup. This could make her top heavy, which isn't ideal in a jumper.
