New Conformation Photos

[BaroqueAgain1]

Not This Time is maturing nicely. It was really unfortunate that he was injured, because he looked like a colt with a ton of promise, and well-suited for the classics. He is also, IMHO, the prettiest Giant's Causeway I've ever seen. Maybe he takes after Mom?
He may be in a 'plain brown wrapper,' but Protonico is a handsome fellow.

Americain: still 100% HUBBA HUBBA

I'm not drooling you're drooling...

[Miss Woodford]

Americain has tremendous bone. He is very reminiscent of the old National Hunt-bred Thoroughbreds in the UK, the kind that could've been mistaken for a draft cross.

[BaroqueAgain1]

I really wish Americain would have more success at stud, but the Melbourne Cup-winning son of the late Dynaformer doesn't seem to have had any top runners. Maybe he would be a better fit at the Irish Stud, servicing both flat and jump mares?

Dynaformer was a beast in person. Pictures of him do him no justice. Said it before, and Ill say it again- I have never seen a TB with legs so thick and hooves so big. He takes after Daddy apparently.
Hoping he does better.

Bobby's Kitten

[starrydreamer]

Bobby's Kitten is nice.

But yeah, Americain is a hunk. Looks so much like a warmblood.

Bobby's Kitten - neck looks disproportionally long in comparison to head.

Bobby's Kitten - neck looks disproportionally long in comparison to head.

He does have a long neck, but that doesn't bother me unless the neck looks weak. His doesn't look weak. I'd take a long, strong neck over a too short one or a big clunker of a head.

On second look, though, his shoulder could be stronger, and that's probably what makes his neck look so long.

What do you mean "shoulder could be stronger" - do you mean longer or more laid back? A shoulder not well laid back would make the neck shorter. I was comparing length of head to length of neck. Neck does look strong - it's the balance that's off.

[Treve]

The balance looks good to me, but I might be biased towards elegant swan necks
I'm more concerned with the angle of his hind pasterns in relation to his fetlocks, they definitely seem too long.

Here's Flintshire's pic outside an ad:

Jakkalberry (IRE)

Is that a shadow on his bum, or does he have a chimera thing going on?

Looks like a "bleeding shoulder" pattern on the sooty factor... but yes it's a marking if the other pics are anything to go by!

Yes, and his hair is under control in this one. Ive seen some pics that shows off those lovely locks of his.

Stephanoatsee who looks like a Clydesdale

[Starine]

I think he reminds me more of a Cleveland Bay.

Oh yeah, a little blingy but definitely reminiscent.

Looks like a founder case

Even when he first came to stud he was on the chunkier side, but he's downright obese now. Compare to his previous confo photo:
