There's a horse I'm interested in just based off the ad, but something about how she moves looks a little off. Not sure if I'm being paranoid. It's a short video so I would really appreciate if anyone with a good eye would be happy for me to send them the ad and give their opinion :)

I really don't think that is fair it's someone else's horse, I would be incredibly angry if someone did it to me and certainly wouldn't want to sell a horse to someone who did.
In my opinion, if the ad is out there with the video in the public domain its fair game for commentary/ criticism if the owner has put it there. Obviously, if it's been privately messaged to OP and isn't 'common knowledge', then that's different. I'd only put a video/ pics on a sale ad I was happy to be scrutinised, just my opinion.

If the horse was clearly lame, I'd post the ad to warn anyone who might not notice it. But with this horse, I can't tell if there's anything going on or if I'm psyching myself out, so I don't want to publicly make a post saying "this horse looks lame" just in case.

Even if it is on a public sales site people have no right to then stick it on a public forum for discussion in my view I find it highly rude.
