Buying a youngster unseen, could anyone give a second opinion?

[QueenDee_]

Currently very interested in a 7month filly advertised (in Ireland, hence not viewing!), could someone possibly give me a second opinion on her from the few photos and videos I have? By Lougheho Guy out of an ID mare and looking at her with a potential to BE

Attractive type. Possibly a little low in neck set but I like her.

Thanks for having a look what sort consequences could occur from being a little low in the neck?

Not much really unless you want to show at top level. Possibly be inclined to get on forehand but produced properly that won't happen.

Nice looking filly, do you have any pics of the sire/dam? I think I recognise the yard, actually.

messaged you Cortez

Agree with slightly low set neck, also not keen on near hind angle, pastern length and would like more length of back end. But having said that, this might be of interest...

I have to say I've only known dark horses with white noses to be troublesome, especially fillies!! Though if she's part ID then I guess she may go grey?

The stallion is undoubtedly classy. But the mare is at LEAST 50% of the end product so consider the mare's breeding - there are a few pure ID mares that would get around Badminton - a lot more that would struggle with a day's hunting if it's a fast country!

Her near foreleg is crooked from below the knee. I would be wary about that. Puts a tremendous amount of strain on the suspensory.
