ETA: More photos of Mylie in a comment
I have 2 horses, one of which I know has incredibly awful conformation, but she's not ridden and basically just hangs out and does nothing (she gets free lunged in the summer months up until end of November). The horse in particular I'd like you guys to critique is my big and bootylicious coming 5 year old Fresian/QH x mare (or thereabouts).
Mylie is a dappled Palomino Fresian/QH x (her sire was the Fresian but likely to be a Fresian X himself, her dam was a Palo QH, I don't have any photos of them, don't know their names or anything -- she was "rescued" from a bad situation where she was left to go wild).
I know these aren't confo. shots, she's hard to get to stay still! Some of these photos are from the old owner from her sale ad and she is definitely kind of overweight in them.
Mylie is
15.2hh (maybe a bit more, she appears to have maybe GROWN?!)
4 years old
I plan to use her for: Low-level Dressage (very low, as in county fair kind of low), Small x-rails, Hacking out
I am well aware that she DOES have a short neck, but she is also a draft X, I am also well aware that she has a high headset, but again fairly common with drafts and she has worn a tie-down when she was trained western.
She is CURRENTLY mostly untrained, she had 30 days prof. training in western pleasure/games last winter but was left all year in a field by her previous owner and will be restarted in May under saddle in Dressage and then next winter restarted with her old western trainer funds permitting.
Do what you can with the photos I have and I'll try to get some more. She is semi-wild right now (mostly just a little uncomfortable still with me) due to being left in a field all year with no human contact except from her trainer who also happens to be her farrier. The old owners IMO were in WAY over their heads with this one as they mostly collected horses and didn't really have any real-life-experience with horses if you know what i mean.
