He doesen't appear to have much in the way of fore legs in the 1st jumping pic.... certainly wouldn't have much worry of him knocking a pole with dangling fores tho...
I am sorry but even if it cribed and jumped like that it would still be worth a lot of money something is deffinatly wrong with this!! Sorry bit of a pesamistic (SP?!) when it comes to these things the phrase something for nothing comes to mind
Yeah - notice there's no piccies of it jumping with a rider on though.
Could be one of those that free jumps beautifully but can't go over a trotting pole when ridden?
Pic does look a bit photoshopped to me I have to say - horse doesn't look like its really "over" the jump. If its real though its very impressive - must be something a bit wrong with it for that price.

I agree, it's way to cheap to be believable and tbh, you sure as hell wouldn't try and sell it with that rider on board! I mean, aside from the riding, what the hell is the guy wearing?! I's teer well clear!
I agree that there is something very dodgy about the price, but I don't think those pics are Photoshopped - looks like they are taken with a phone camera so they wouldn't be high enough resolution to alter convincingly - when you click on them, they are also very small, which supports this argument. Unless the seller is a very proficient retoucher indeed, which seems unlikely indeed as you'd make more money doing that than selling horses! Lovely jump though.
I agree Benjamin - and looking at the cut-out of the horse at the homepage of his website, it doesn't strike me as him having access to amazing retouchers... I work in that industry and the going rate for a job like that (this is providing the image exists as a very high-res file) would could half of what he is selling the horse for!
I agree that it all seems dodgy, but the pics are not retouched in my opinion.
I guess it just seems very very cheap in this age of overpriced horses with "potential". I suppose maybe he shouldn't be more really - he has proven nothing, he is young, small and cribs. Must admit that if I could buy a horse I'd be very tempted to go and have a look...

I can't see how or why people think its dodgy?
Is it because he is cheap?

i believe it is dodgy as i know the seller.
he has also been the the talk of many threads on this forum with countless people ending up with broken horses and no comeback.
TRUST ME when i say that if this horse was as fantastic as it looks he would keep it himself to jump - or at least be selling it for a decent amount of money.
