In her trotting picture she appears sound with an even stride length, balanced frame, head up at a natural angle, ears alert. Is she an older mare? Her back seems a bit low with a bit of a hay belly, maybe just needs some exercise though to build up her topline.
Hmm okay. She's (supposedly) 8 years old. I don't think she gets worked very often..I'm talking to the girl, and it's her uncle's horse. She rides it every now and then. I asked her what the scar was from, and she said a fence injury, guess it makes sense.
