Songster
Looking at her as a halter house, which I've learned to judge, she looks good. Unfortunately she toes out a bit in the back. However for that price she is probably worth it. Look to see how she travels too.

She does have some weird characteristics, they don't throw horses around between auctions for nothingLooking at the updated pics:
Still seeing toes out in back, toes out in front, long pasterns, club foot on right rear. Upright shoulder, long, ewe neck, and a very large head. Head now appears to also have a roman nose.
My thoughts exactly!I'm feeling very sorry for this horse, because it sounds like she's had rotten luck so far, but I'm hard pressed to find many positive things about her conformation. Her starved condition makes her hard to look at - and it's hard to know just how much a lack of proper nutrition at such an important time of her life may have impacted her development. Yes, she has long pasterns, and in a couple of the pictures it looks like she may have a club foot on the off hind. In every picture, it looks like one or the other of her hind feet are pointing well off from forward, so she may be cow hocked. It looks like her front feet may toe out, too. She appears to have an unusually large head (particularly so for such a young animal). Skinny horses' heads often look large, but even allowing for that, she appears to have a big head. Her neck looks very long, and it has an odd dip in the middle of it. Add that large head and long neck to the very steep, straight shoulder, and I'm seeing a horse that probably will always be heavy on the forehand, with a short, choppy stride that may not be very comfortable to ride. None of the things I have pointed out necessarily will make her unrideable, but she may not be very useful.
My thoughts exactly!
