Ok, so I''ve been riding most of my life. I've trained horses before including my OTTB. [[ off track thoroughbred ]] I mainly compete in Jumpers, Dressage, Combined Training, Eventing, and I may start hunters. I currently own one OTTB and I've also been looking for a horse to lease, and I have two favorites. I know the barns that their both kept at but I need some help before I go look at them...
The first horse is Diesel. He's a 4 year old 17.2hh Percheron X Standardbred gelding. I'm in love with his gaits but do you think he could be an ok jumper? [[ I'd wait until he was a little older to start that ]] I've seen the heaver breeds such as Friesians, Draft Corsses, etc being amazing jumpers! I would also be doing dressage...which I'm sure he would be great at! Though is it just me or does he seam to have a little bit of a long back? How is the rest of his conformation? Other thoughts?

The second horse is Shyanne. She's an 8 year old 16.3hh Draft Cross [[ Paint X Belgian ]] How is her movement to you? Any obvious conformation faults that I'm missing? Does she have the build to possibly be a jumper, eventer, etc? Any other thoughts?
