I am a definite novice at this conformation stuff, so take this with a grain of salt, but her is what I see. What I like about her is that she looks to have a nicely shaped head and neck, that doesn't tie into the chest to low. She also appears to have well set back withers, and nice short cannons. However, she does look rather long backed, and particularly her loin coupling looks long. Also, it looks like she might be a bit post-legged. Whether or not this will be a problem depends upon what you wish to do with her. Doubtless she wont be as athletic as a horse with a shorter loin coupling, and if she is post-legged, she might be prone to locking stifles -though this depends much more on the way the horse is used. I am told the being a bit post-legged can actually make a horse more sound for jumping. In my opinion, there is nothing conformationally to stop this filly from being a good pleasure horse. But, I would find out more -no picture can show the most important part of the equation -the horses mind. Is she a horse you can bond with? Good luck, Bryna.
