I don't think he is too bad personally, not the most beautiful but he doesn't cost all that much either. He would look a lot better with more weight and better muscle tone. I don't like his shoulder as it is too straight. There are certainly many factors that go into a horse purchase, conformation is just one of them. So it depends on what you want him for. So in my opinion there is nothing terrible about his conformation although it is true you can't see his pasterns. If they were too straight then too me that would be a no. go see him and see what he is like. I can see past the color because I don't like his color although if he was a golden palomino then that would be another story
