He has been broken to ride/drive and does not pace when ridden, according to the owner. Do you think this May mean he will have future lameness problems?

I am really interested in a standardbred horse however apparently the previous owners hot pressed his legs? Can anyone tell me what this means.. Can't find anything about it on the internet

Hello, I have been riding for nearly 5 years now, and I would class myself as a good, sensible rider and I have ridden quite a few young horses in the past and also quite recently. I am currently looking for my first horse. I have found a spectacular 8yo coloured gelding for sale as a...
