I would just say dont trust previous owners!
According to Rocco's previous owner hed never put a foot wrong but then I found a thread in here about him accidentally (?) kicking the sister on the head and leaving her unconscious!
His behaviour wasnt new that he just taught himself in the 2hr trailer journey from their field to my yard. Several vets, trainer and experienced friends were also of that opinion.
I am a grade A mug and I still let previous owner visit, I think she came out 3x in total. When she and her mum got to his stable he came over to see who the people were and they both instinctively ducked!!
So yeah just work with the horse in front of you and dont believe previous owners concerning things like this!
