hes not really a 'dressage prospect', but every horse can do lower level dressage. i dont know how far you want to go in dressage, but if you want to stay at the lower levels and hes seems like a good fit for you go for it! hes very cute.

| He may stay sound enough for lower leven dressage, but if you look closely his legs are toed out in front, and toe in in back. Upper level movements may be overly difficult for him to preform and affect his soundess, also certain western sports may harm his already fragile leg formation such as any speed or reining work. While he is adorable, the legs are hard to pass by...

While its true a farrier can straighten out the looks of the leg, they can't really do anything about the crooked bone. Straightening the looks can actually make the bone in a more stressed position, because it isn't "normal" for that particular horse. I would recomend getting a horse with straight legs. If a horse has leg problems, it's going to be hard to do alot with them.
