she's cute. Sounds like a nice mare.

grrr just lost my reply.

Anyway she's sickle hocked and appears to be undermuscled in her hindquarters.

Is she wanting to show or just ride around? The mare does not appear to be show ready at all but sounds perfect for a fun horse.

aww i hate when that happens she just looking for a horse to ride around on and have fun and shes is sick of showing so this would just be for her to ride and relax on im feeling the same way... at this point i can show later on i just wanna have fun of one of the ponies i might get! pics of razzle if you wanna look at one of the ones im intersted in!

Well the only thing you really need to worry about are her hind legs. It's difficult to tell from a pic how bad they are, but it could lead to unsoundness, tendon issues, etc at a relatively early age.

And of course, anything a vet check might turn up.

she looks to have a big belly in those pictures. Is she pregnant in them?

candystand5585 · 07-08-2004, 07:59 PM

haha yes she was pregant in those pics with her foal freedom here are some pics of freedom:

this is her first foal jd who is now 2 years old:

Based on those pics, she passes on her sickle-hockedness (is that a word?) So that should rule her out for use as a brood mare. Again, it would really depend on the severity of her legs on how much it would affect her.

Thanks that very helpful for her! thanks for all the opinions!
