Well it is a little hard to say from this picture, but she does not appear to be long backed. She has a nice hip and topline, but her shoulder is upright and she is short necked. Again, hard to see, but she does appear to have long pasterns, which may or may not cause her any trouble. Overall she is pleasing, we could pick any horse apart all day. She looks quite immature for a coming 3 y/o, but they all develope at different rates, and she has long cannon bones so she should continue to grow well into her 3 y/o year and even into her 4 y/o year. Her eyes are closed but she has longish ears and a flat triangle head, which can be indicative of a laid back, willing attitude.

Good luck with her!

I'd also agree short back and neck, pasterns don't look too long to me.
Not going to judge the hindquarters with her stance!

Your picture doesn't really do the filly any favors. If, for example, her head was lower and enticed forward, her shortish neck would look much better. She appears to be a bit back at the knee and her pasterns look long, but those things, too, could be attributed to her stance. Considering all that she's already been through at her young age, I think she looks pretty good.
