Ok, let's get some opinions of the Quarab I'm riding at the moment, Joya.

Sorry, don't have any good square back/front pics.

she is long in the back for a QH cross. She has lovely straight front legs but I think is a little straight in the angle of the stifle. I think she might have a tendency to getting stifle lock or may throw foals with that tendency. I would think she would not have the bounce a really good jumper would need.

She may be a little proppy in her back end making her a little rougher to ride then a horse with more of an angle in the stifle/hock area.

She is very pretty and I like her neck/front legs in particular.

I agree about the hind end.

Can't really see anything to comment on that's glaringly obvious - anyone else?

I think she looks a bit downhill, so you might have to shim up the front of your saddle to level it up.
