No sorry, Cow hocked is what I meant, it would not be cow hocked if his toes did not pointout, then would be a problem directly in the hocks if they angled this way without his toes out. But no, only very slightly noticable and not a problem at all. Quite common actually.

... Or where you talking about the way he stands Underneath himself? (totally different than his slight cow hocked position which can only be seen from front and rear pictures) What I meant there was that in order for him to set up where the point of his rear, point of hock, and point of fetlock all line up in a vertical line- his hock-to-fetlock will be standing out behind his rump which will make him have to camp out a bit. Makes his Fibula bone look long. I couldn't remember the bone.

I couldn't tell if he was toed out or not in the front, in one photo (where he is facing the camera at an angle) he was standing toed out in front but I wasn't sure if this had to do with the footing, or just the way he happened to be standing.

I personally like his thick chunky neck. He's about as close to my ideal favorite style of conformation as I get and I love him! Hey, post his fancy pictures with his show halter on! Sounds like he was quite enjoying himself *sarcasm in voice* ...none of my horses would stand happily for pictures after being washed and dressed up. They hate me when I do that... heehee...
