Opinions on this horse please?

Generally nice, I know of ulft, features in a few very good horses pedigrees, nice pop (although seems to almost jump bigger behind than infront!! But at the end of the day she jumps clear and work will probably help with the front end lift a bit, or maybe she's not really trying and can go alot bigger!!!) I like her conformation, she's short coupled, up infront at the shoulder with a good neck length. Flatwork requires some work to try to slow the rhythm and lengthen her stride but they do say she's only just started flatwork so no problems there, I think that is a very good price and likely if the horse was going to be growing into a 16.2 then they'd be asking 4-5K! also as a warmblood at 4 she won't necessarily have finished growing she could go another inch......
 
Nice horse - i like! Price looks reasonable i would say - maybe it could be negotiated a little as the horse hasn't done a lot.

Poss a little overbent but overall i think this looks a nice horse.
 
Looks really straight through the hocks in those pictures.

Actually changed my mind having watched the video.

Lovely.

I agree with this too ..

Sweet enough mare, needs to settle into the ridden work a little (overbent as others have said, but only 3rd time she was sat on apparently so that would come with time), but for me personally it would be a no on the hocks purely for the reason of owning several that were that upright behind and resulted in spavins.
 
Isn't she a pretty girl? I like her, but she does look short in the back and there is something about her hind legs in those pics - a bit upright perhaps? Seems a bit high price wise even with all the raved about breeding (which means nothing to me and doesn't mean this horse will necessarily live up to it). I'd go to see her.
 
Looks a little small behind compared to front and very short backed... otherwise, lovely shoulder conformation, good proportioned up front, beautiful head. Nice legs if a little upright.
 
she looks like she has potential but she looks a little tight just behind the poll, strides in trot a bit short but it looks like she just needs to work deeper into the rein. longer and looser less hurried and i think she could be lovely. schooling really.
Its hard to tell from a video though how good she really is. id say to go look.
Very pretty girl though :)
 
Nice sort - Not quite my type (prefer the look of the colt they have for sale).

Oh and have a look at the two jumping pics in both ads. Not saying anything odd is happening. Just saying they look similiarish and I might have picked a better lighting opportunity to take jumping pic in....
 
Apart from the fact that she looks like she has constantly been worked in draw reins, I tink she is a lovely little mare..... and the above is easily fixed....
 
Looks georgous to me. Really nice head and neck and uphill conformation. But, as others have said, the back end looks small in comparison to the front so may be a little weak? Sorry no idea about the hocks (can't tell a well let down hock from a straight one!) and I would google the breeding to check its all that.
The person in the video looks like a decent rider so there's a chance she's as unspoilt as they say.
 
Yes she has good breeding but I don't like her hind legs - too straight in the hock and does not stand with her hind legs 'under' her but too far out behind. With this fault I would not even want to breed from her.

Yes, I agree that the SJ boys like their horses big - a friend of mine bought a lovely mare who was very well bred for just over £2k as she wasn't going to make more than 15.3.
 
again hocks are very upright and is overbent when working on flat but this could be due to age and being overworked with draw reins. However she is very nice and looks promising, I would definatley go see her if I were you :)
 
Looks nice enough, looks a little upright through her hocks but this seems to be quite common in these sort of horses now? Is a little over-bent in the schooling but seems to move nicely and i'm sure it would be easily fixed with a bit of time and effort. Seems a pretty good price for that sort, but as they say if she was 16.2 it would be a lot more!

If she's 'as described' i would say that's a pretty reasonable price!
