She is pretty. I was also wondering about her weight. Her hips do stick out a little bit. My horse does that, but I think it's just her conformation, she has enough fat everywhere else Just make sure you get a good vet check her out, and take xrays of her naviculars and her hocks, you don't want navicular disease or arthritis setting in. Or any abnormalities for that matter. Also, if she is only 2-3 yrs old, then I really would try to wait on the heavy training. I wouldn't even think about trying to get up on her for probably another year so she can finish growing. Maybe do round-pen work, no faster than a trot. Sacking her out and making her walk around with a towel or a saddle pad on her neck, close to her ears, so she won't be head shy. That's a good thing to do, we did it with a horse Ray we were training and you can do anything to her. I would just go slow with her and stop and go back if she stops understanding. Just remember they get bored easy, so don't train more than maybe 30 minutes per session.
Sorry if I seem overbearing, I just want ya'll to have a good horse. It gets expensive, but it's worth it IMO. They are wonderful animals to have.
Also, don't forget the West Nile shots, very very important and aren't expensive.
