but would you guess him for 17 hands?

I think he looks like a much smaller horse... then you get next to him, and it's amazing... he's a whale. :lol

Like I said, he's no stallion prospect (thus the lack of equipment. :lol ), but he has never been physically lame.

I used him because I thought he was a good example of a horse that was flawed but could work.

The idea though is that not ALL flawed horses can overcome their conformational shortcomings.
