Critique my new pony!

Hes an 8 year old, tricolour irish cob cross.
No critique on the rider please - its the old owner.

There is only one thing wrong with your pony..

He is not in my pasture

He is darling, all good things with him!

He really looks pleasing to the eye. I like him. All that I can see, that is if the angle of the foto doesn't make it look worse, is the length of his head.

He looks a lot like my boy only my boy isn't cantering well under saddle yet or jumping. Pretty boy!

Well, the photos aren't the best for a conformation critique, but he's GORGEOUS! His head is a tad large, but he's a pony.

Riding: He's somewhat on the forehand, and the rider has awfully tight reins in the picture. (I didn't watch video) You DO need to hold him with your hands, but remember to ride the horse back to front.

(Create impulsion/energy and trap it with your hands!)

Oh my goodness. Talk about CUTE! You two look awesome together. There are only two things I can really see from the videos... at the canter your hands are pretty much in your lap. You should keep contact but put your hands forward and bend your elbows to keep it, rather than pulling your hands in. As for the jumping, it looks really cute, but you seem to be throwing yourself over the jump with him.
