I just purchased a Spanish Mustang gelding for my husband.  We bought him 
with a 1 week contingency in the sale agreement so that we could try him out 
and see how he moves out with my little arab.  The horse has a great 
attitude.  He is level headed on the ground and is much like a bulldozer out 
on the trail.  My one concern is that, on the vet check, she mentioned that 
he was slightly knock kneed on the right front and swings out a bit with 
that leg when moving.  She recommended working him hard and looking for 
signs of lameness.  We have done so and have not yet seen a problem.

My question is, have other horses performed well with this kind of a 
conformation issue?  I don't expect that he will ever do much more than 50 
since my husband is not as 'in to' riding as I am, but I would like to have 
him be able to some 50s with my arab and I.

Oh, and we currently have a breeding stock paint mare up for sale.  She is 
an awesome horse, but we are selling her because we simply cannot ride 
together with her and my arab.  If you know anyone who might be interested, 
point them my way.

Thanks!
