Looking at a 2 yr draft cross. Crooked back leg. Seems to move sound in the video I got. He’s cheap. Current horses we have don’t have perfect confo either.
Pass?
Pass, the ankle already shows pathological changes?
As your vet, x-rays would tell the story best.

Pass. At 2, you have no idea if he will ever hold up to being ridden. The fetlock appears to already have bony changes/deformity.

Thanks everyone. Will pass. It would of been a 2hr drive down and then 1hr drive to the closest vet.

Hard pass on a horse that young and untested.

To add to everyone else’s comments, the lack of proper hoof care that shows totally different hooves on both hind feet would be a concern as well.

Bone spavin in the hock, and possible ringbone in the pastern. Pass.

He is standing that way likely because of his current trim angles. That’s an awfully imbalanced hoof and a completely different angle and shape than his other hind.
That being said, don’t buy problems. I’d pass as well unless he was free and you were certain that remodeling on his pastern wouldn’t limit him for a future career.

His feet are a mess. Fronts are super long as well. Unfortunately that’s super common around here. Hard to find farriers and most people don’t really care.
Will probably wait until next year to buy something. A little bummed because he is an attractive horse. Between not knowing, winter right around the corner and the current hay prices.
