What's wrong with this horse?

Update:

I wanted other peoples opinions on confirmation, heath etc... look at all thress pictures and give your thoughts

Update 2:

she is a 5 yr old quarter / paint mare she is stout and 16HH, she has a sweet personality and yes her heels are low and angles are off, I bought her like that and am currently working with a good ferrier to correct her angles. there are 3 things people didnt mention and some went way out into space when answering hahah but this is fun non the less keep your opinions comming! also she is very sweet with good personality, she has rare bloodlines as well. and some nice ones. clabber, skipper w 3 bars and hi fidelity...special envoy.

Update 3:

LBB you come off as though you're some rightous spelling nazi, but what the hell are you trying to state in your reply, wtf is asses? do you mean: assessment, assets? because the way you word it, sounds like you mean more than one ***.

    first of all, I'd like to say that LBB doesn't know what she's talking about. OBVIOUSLY. **Asses are more than one ***. I don't know if she's talking about donkies, or butts, but she's sounds redicously ignorant. And secondly, your mare is beautiful. yes people, she don't have perfect feet/legs, but get off it. what horse does? my 1D barrel racer is pigeon-toed, so what? if there is something wrong with her, you hide it very well. she looks like an excellent mare. have fun with her!!

    Honestly, she looks like a healthy, happy horse.

    Her conformation isn't totally perfect, but few horses are. She doesn't have any huge and glaring faults that put me off her.

    The thing that really appeals to me is she looks like she has a sweet personality. It's hard to tell from pictures, but if she acts the way she looks, she seems like a fun mount.

    The only thing that bothers me is the fact that she needs a different farrier...

    She's not perfect, but if her training is anything like the condition she looks to be in, she'd be worth more than most horses you see on here.

    she's back at the knee, looks a little sickle hocked, long in the pasturns, long backed, and has a really lousy farrier! her angles are all off. her hip is a little straighter than i'd like to see too. i personally don't like her head... it's longer than her neck. overall i dont see any HUGE faults and she looks healthy. her coat is shiny, her weight is good, and her eyes are clear and alert. she has a nice shoulder and is pretty balanced overall. she doesnt have any issues that most mid-grade horses dont have. she doesnt look like an elite 250,000 dollar show horse but i wouldnt say she's a 500 dollar plug like most horses on this board tend to be

    wow 3 bars is a really nice blood line! for a quarter horse i think her butt should be a little bit more round up on top, it kinda slopes a bit much for a quarter, for a thoroughbred it would be nice, but not a quarter...

    that was the only thing that really stuck out to me

    I think overall the horse looks ok....is a little cow hocked....but thats nothing really severe, the one thing that bothers me from the pics is That your horses hoof angle looks off.....I think your horse is lacking length of heel.. the angle of your horses pastern is not what his/her hoof is.....I would talk to my farrier about it.

    she looks like a happy healthy horse a little bit skinny maybe but she will put Weight on as she gets older. i think you should definitely keep working with the farrier but apart from that she looks happy and healthy

    i find her too down hill and her hoof shapes are wrong, front feet angles are not good and dropped heels.

    oh and btw its fArrier

    it is very difficult to asses a horse for health issues of a picture. this is why you should not buy a horse sight unseen.

    its also difficult to asses conformation when the mare isnt standing square and straight.

    In the first picture she looks like a he. Just something under/behind her I think. lol

    The second pic, she looks like she kinda has capped hocks.

    Third pic she looks fine.
