Born To Sea is gorgeous...except that it looks like someone Photoshopped about 6-7" out of the middle of his barrel. :o

His back... it's so short! But darn Urban Sea threw some handsome offspring

This is the conformation on Rathasker Stud's website... they don't look like the same horse, one looks like a yearling

I think the main thing is that the older shot was taken right when he came off the track.

In both images, there's something really weird going on with the right hind fetlock.

True. I don't know enough to know what it is, but it's not pretty.

Indeed there is.

Regarding Born to Sea, judging only by those two photos, there possibly is some calcification on the front side of that fetlock. If it's real and not some peculiar photographic illusion, perhaps he had a minor injury or filling there at one time and it healed but left calcification.

I found this picture of Born to Sea as a foal. (He's with his nurse mare, as Urban Sea died from complications of foaling him.) That fetlock looks fine here.

In a thread full of appallingly photoshopped backgrounds, that one is refreshing.
