Cracking has replaced Stunning....

in horse ads. Doesn't mean anything, (I hope), but does sound vaguely positive.
Perhaps horse ads should be regulated like estate agent's house ads so that it would be illegal to say anything but the facts.

Cracking is a far older horse term than stunning is, seems to cover all the bases while stunning just means good to look at.

it's the term i'd use too, oh does that mean i'm old

Hooray for cracking! If we looked at all the stunning horses for sale we'd be stunned into semi-consciousness by now...it's such an overused word.

Yes - I would choose a spiffing horse over a cracking one any day.

I think it would depend on which bit of the horse is spiffing or cracking

Would the front end spiff and the back end crack? Or t'other way round?
