His angles on his pasterns are off..at least, I think that they are...I can't really tell because you can't see his hooves and his ankles are so darn swollen. I don't think he is stocked up. His pasterns look too clean for him to be stocked up. I think that it is just him.

His head and neck are absolutely beautiful though. He is a very pretty horse to look at.

you bring up one of my biggest pet peeves in conformation shots...when they are standing in the grass and you can't see the hoof or half of the pastern, really annoying.
