Post Legged..............?

Question

Is this horse what you would call post legged in the hind??

Thanks!

Answer 1

Not really but he does have a nasty cut on his front leg.

Answer 2

Not really what you'd call "posty"  He actually has a pretty good set to his hock, but the pics aren't very good for looking "he's a little too stretched out"  but I would say no.  They are just a tad straighter than they should be, but by no means Post legged.

Answer 3

yes he would be considered post legged. See how his pasterns are basically upright and he's also a bit upright in the gaskin. This horse is high hocked also with a LONG gaskin. (let me point out that most high hocked horses have short gaskins, this horse does not)

He's young so he may grow into it. But I would watch him for sure if you do purchase him.

Here is a sight for you to look at so you can compare and contrast for yourself.

Answer 4

Um is there a picture?

Answer 5

Yes, he is post legged, and has no angle to his pasterns.  He is also a bit cow hocked, his hocks are too high, and his rear cannons are way too long.

Answer 6

Yeah. His back pasterns are very vertical to the point where I doubt they will improve with age.

Conformationaly, I very much dislike him.

And who uses a picture of your horse bleeding from the knee on a sale ad?
