Hmmm....Very short neck,
Hmmm....Very short neck, short hip, weak loin, somewhat downhill, hind legs might be slightly crooked, weak gaskins, mutton withers, goose rumped, small-ish joints and I'm not sure about that shoulder. On the bright side, he's got a cute head, short back, open angle between the arm and the humerus, deep heartgirth, and nicely angled hip; the stifle looks well placed under the point of hip; pasterns, hooves, front legs seem okay just from this side view. Is his saddle hard to keep on? Does he move with some knee action? Is he sound? I actually think he's a cute little fellow for a riding pony. He's holding himself a little tensely in the photos. What's his temperment like?
He is a great little school
He is a great little school pony. This link tells a little of his history plus several more pictures:

ETA: Thank you for the analysis! I am not very good at getting the specifics. Jack is almost 3 inches taller at the butt than at his withers, but he is surprisingly not to hard to fit tack to. We have another pony who is also this downhill, but he also has no withers and has a ribcage shaped like a barrel so he wears a breast collar and crupper to keep his saddle from falling over his neck or around his middle.
LOL....yes he is built um...
