Looks very lame to me...hope I don't get into trouble for posting the link...

Hmm yes, the nodding is quite a give away!

 

[Jemayni]

Im not sure - Looks like it could just be evading the contact, the rider is really blocking the horse with her hands!

 

[JLav]

Yep!! Right hind.

 

[Mel85]

It looks more resistent than lame - if you take the head away and look only at the movement it looks ok.

Now I saw it as a fore leg....but now you've said, it looks like 2 of its 4 legs are dodgy!

 

[Emma123]

I saw it right fore but I'm rubbish at identifying which leg...definitly doesn't look 'right'

 

[Happytohack]

Please read previous posts on Overa Farm Stud!

I don't see nodding TBH, I see a lot of unbalance. I could see unlevelness mostly in walk, the snatching of the foreleg.

 

[lizzie_liz]

I think it needs to low down a bit as its trot work looks rushed and therefore unbalanced.

 

[miniemy]

Poor little mite looks a tad wrong dont it. I can see rather a lot less flexion right hind, but I did think left hind to start with. It seems to me that right hind drags at some points.

Odd very odd

 

[custard]

Im no good at picking which leg if its a hind but its definitley not right although, dare I say, the jockey is a little large!!!

 

[guisbrogal]

It is definitely dragging the toe of the left hind (the one near the wall anyway)

At first I thought it had something to do with its pelvis but there is something awfully wrong with that back leg

Also I don't mean to be rude but the rider is too heavy or at least rides too heavy. She is banging down into the saddle and the horse looks like it is reacting to that quite badly.

I would want a vets opinion to be honest

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Hind leg not right, I'd have thougt they'd have waited until it was right before filming it & putting it up for sale.

 

[AmyMay]

Not sure - don't think so. Just not appreciating the lump on its back.

Nice horse.

Why, SM, are you looking on their website? looking for a new horse??

God no!!

Well I have to say it doesn't look too lame... Just has a sack of potatoes on it's back who is not sitting straight, is very unbalanced and tilting the heaviest part of their body to the inside. I very much doubt a lame horse would stand-off at a jump like that.

She coughed, which would worry me a little bit, and the person filming reminds me of something out of a horror movie, heavy breathing and all

 

[Parkranger]

mmmm, I would say no - look at the school, it's pretty deep!

When the horse first moves it looks like it's struggling to get through the sand....

 

[BBs]

Think with the head tossing, and running in the trot is just down to unbalance.

 

[vicm2509]

I would say NO. Looks a little unbalanced and not fully accepting contact (my horse does that head bob thing when he is being resistant). Otherwise I would say she looks like a lovely horse.

I could be wrong though as im certainly no expert

 

[Sparklet]

Not lame no - just run off its feet and losing balance. Just bad riding IMO

 

[Agent XXX999]

Can I just point out that a size 6 rider can ride badly like that and have the same effect....

Bad riding IMO. Why, if you are trying to sell a horse, would you EVER try to do it with a video like that?

 

[Tempi]

to me it looks like the rider is holding it too tight in the mouth, causing the head problem and not allowing it to use its back end properly, hence it striding up short. Its also very unbalanced. Dont actually think its lame.

 

[Sparklet]

I already know that - being a rider who needs a 1 in front of the 6!

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Would also say its definately not lame, but unbalanced and not helped by the rider

 

[tabithakat64]

I thought it was lame to start off with and is very unbalanced

 

[severnmiles]

Sent it to a friend who has been on ground jury's (lower level) and he said it would be spun from the walk!
