Thoughts On This Thoroughbred Gelding Please!

I Am Sort Of Looking Into The Purchase Of Another Horse Since I Had To Give Up Legs

. I Miss Having A Horse Of My Own; I Am Not 100% Serious Yet, But The Desire Is There If I Can Find The Right Situation.

This Is A Thoroughbred Gelding For Sale Not Far From Where I Am Now. He Is 5-Years-Old, Approximately 16 Hands, Never Raced, And Sound.

I Know The Pictures Are Somewhat Small And Not That Great, But I Would Still Love To Hear Opinions.

Thanks!

He doesn't seem very fit to me, but that it not something that can't be fixed relatively easily. His neck is especially weak looking.

Other than that, he seems pretty good, but nothing spectacular worthy to make this curiousity turn into serious consideration.

Quite undermuscled, but could be good!

From these pictures, I can't tell much about conformation, but I can see he is severely undertoned. His neck looks terrible in that top shot. That said, with some proper nutrition and conditioning, he could turn into a flashy boy! Do they have any additional pictures that we can see?

Thanks All For The Thoughts.

Unfortunately, Those Are The Only Pictures In The Ad. I Am Planning To Email And Ask For Some Additional Ones.

I agree that the neck looks terribly weak. I love the color. Maybe there is some sort of story that we are missing like out of work, recovering from something, etc... to help explain the weak looking, almost upsidedown, neck.

Well, Got An Email Back From The Owner. Unfortunately He Is Sold

.

Still, Thank You All For The Critiques!
