Before you go and see something get a video of it trotting and cantering on both reins, on the lunge ideally but appreciate many racers don’t know lunging

It should be able to strike off on correct lead and not be disunited behind

If it cant then there’s a lameness the trainer either can’t see or doesn’t think you’ll be able to see

Thanks, that's hopefully a good way of reducing wasted visits

They used to be sold, maybe they are having to be careful with Facebook rules and don't put a price anymore.

They are a perfect example of people who know horses, aiming for a market and pricing according. They seem very honest in their description, which have quirks or are more challenging; which are showimg serious talent and which would be happy hackers and when they could put prices, these reflected the horse.
O yes, their adverts are extremely honest, every quirk is mentioned.
