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?

She's a pretty horse! I mostly do dressage so I won't be much help with jumping. For level of dressage you wont't really know until you actually get out their and do it. They have to have LOTS of muscle to work from behind (using their butt) Lots of muscle on the top of theirr neck in order to hold them up in the propper head position (do NOT work on the head until you have everything else down .. the "head tuck" comes naturally) . And they have to hav a good strong back. I would start from training level and see the scores and what the judges say .. Jumping I would say the same thing ... for jumping just get her a really big strong butt!: ) and work on going over small jumps and watch her on videos so you what she looks like .. She would tell you if she doesnt like it or she in pain!
