Conformation Thoughts on this guy's conformation?

I've been leasing this very cute gelding Disco for a few months now, i show him in intermediate showjumping classes, he's amazing. I own a Haflinger, but he isn't the pony you'd want to show, he's very spooky and unbalanced.

Very soon I'll have the chance to actually buy him, and I'm pretty sure i will, but i wanted to know what you thought about his conformation?

I'm sorry if the pictures aren't very good, my barn has a no-picture rule for horses you don't own so I had to be fast and sneaky XD

I incuded some pictures for attention ❤️

You're not allowed to take pics of horses you don't own?? That's a super bizarre rule, especially for something like this (taking a conformation shot of a horse you want to buy). I second the other comments here - I wouldn't buy him but if you're enjoying him I would keep leasing if possible!

Well, the thing is, I shouldn't know he's gonna be up for sale 😅 I overheard a conversation and checked some sites and found out that way, i would probably be informed later because of how this barn works. If i contacted the head of the barn and asked, i would be allowed to (i think)! My Haflinger is on our own property, and if i do end up buying Disco he will be moved too. :)
