What do you think of my horse?!?

Question

This is my horse Eli. He's an 8 year old Appendix Gelding (definitely thinks he's a TB, not a QH.) lol. Anyway, we recently gave up on hunters, just because he is too hyper and fast and we're doing jumpers. I was wondering what you all thought about him. Please be honest. I appreciate the honesty more than anything.

This was last year:

Answer 1

He's GORGEOUS!! You two look like you have fun together! he definately cleared that jump with plenty of room still!( don't know if that made sense, but there was a bit of distance between his hooves and the jump) Have fun and good luck! :)

Answer 2

Answer 3

i love that one of him...having fun! its so cute

he has a really nice face and ears (i love horses ears...i think theyre so cute... :P) adn his colour is lovely. he seems beautiful!

Answer 4

HE'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I love any color and breed of horses.. what type of breed is he? my most favorite breeds are arabians, quarter horses, throughbreds, paints, pintos

Answer 5

I think he is beautiful.  But then most horses are.  I love that fun picture!  Absolutely fantastic.  What was he thinking of?  Does he ever get out and about in the field.  That might settle him down a bit!

Answer 6

VERY cute horse! um if u liked hunters the i would say get a  new bit and a martingale and go back but it sound like he is a great horse! good luck!

Answer 7

I like him! I think the last pic is hilarious. He's really handsom and and looks like he'd make a great jumper. He's got a really intresting marking on him in the....  5th pic,  i think. It looks like you put somthing on it.  I really like him! What's not to like. He looks like he'd be fun to be around and he seems really happy. I'm sure he likes being with you.

=)

Answer 8

WOW what a beautiful boy! He looks wonderful, definitely got TB in him but you can see the QH in his shoulders and rump.  He looks like such a happy horse!  You guys look great together especially over the jumps.  Good job!

Some ideas for that name:

Answer 9

Answer 10

keep up the good work!

Answer 11

lol! in the last pic hes like 'look at my butt!' hes really cute, and a good jumper.

Answer 12

I think he is a very pretty boy and looks very great and healthy!  Also looks like he has quite the passion for jumping!

Answer 13

He is gorgeous  =D

Answer 14

what a character.

he looks nice. what lovely jumps you are going over.

you look great together. And what a jumper! He's ready to go up another 1-2 feet!

I think you've made the right decision to go sj, he looks like that type of horse.

He is 'slightly' narrow in the hocks, but this is just his type. He sure is elegant and his eye has the look of being catious. I couldn't imagine him hitting many poles, and I bet he is quick on his feet. He looks like the type that if the going got tough, he'd take control and get you over the jump.

Thanks for sharing these photos I realy enjoyed seeing them. Good luck with the sj. Have you thought of doing a couple of flat show classes with him - he'd do well.

Answer 15

wow!

hes beautiful and i love the pics of him, i wish i could get some like that of my horse! but my horse is kinda lazy so all his pics are boring haha

oh and i really like the name Eli =]

Answer 16

He is really pretty!!!!

Answer 17

Hi...he's really handsome! You can totally see the QH in him in his shoulder and front end...but he's very cat like over the jumps...and I can see why you've chosen jumpers based on how he is trying in that one pic where he's like 18 inches over the jump (like he's saying 'this is too easy for me' lol)...if he's fast, I bet you'll go far with him in jumpers :)

Answer 18

Last year he looked a little thin, but the more recent pics he looks nicely filled out.

He is Definately TB!

Beautiful, very nice head.

He looks Hot but very sweet.

How would he do in endurance?

It'd help him buff up and calm him down a little.
