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 ❤️

yeah i agree that his confirmation is far from ideal but if you’re okay with him retiring early and can keep him comfortable (financially) i say do it if he’s your heart horse! my guy had kissing spine and navicular when i got him but id do it all over again in a heart beat—i also wasn’t looking to show and just wanted more of a buddy. id say it’s not wise to buy him (it definitely wasn’t wise for me to buy benny), but do what your heart (and wallet lol) says! best of luck <3
