Although it would help to have different perspectives of this mare, the stance she has taken in the photo makes her easy to judge. She is very beautiful and obviously well taken care of. You can tell she is alert, confident, and curious by the position of her head and ears, as well as the way she stands. She has a short, strong back in relation to her long underline, and she stands straight on her column of bone. The neck is long, transitioning into her head with a clean throat latch and into her chest/pectoral region with smooth lines. She is well muscled throughout, especially in the chest, shoulder, and gaskin. Her legs and feet are sturdy and well formed.
She is excellently proportioned and truly gorgeous.

The only thing I would check before buying her is her front view. Though I HIGHLY doubt it, considering her experience and performance in previous competitions, she could be bow legged, pigeon toed, etc., and might not perform as well as you want.

Hope this helps!
Marie
