Thoughts on this horse?

Looks nice, doesn't tuck her front legs as much as I'd like but the video is old. I would go to view her as she seems very quiet and honest. :)
 
Thanks,

I think she makes a nice shape though, and is tucking her legs up over the hedge thing. I'm slightly suspicious that over the wire gate thing she sets off with one rider and lands with another! Wonldn't really blame a 5yo for making a bodge of that though!
 
Very professional rider on board, and show jumps the XC fences as well as the SJ's..... If she was 5 in the video - what has she done in the past two years? and with what ability of rider? If she left the professional yard, and went well with an amateur (or less professional home) then she is probably as genuine as she looks, therefore well worth a look
 
She'd have been sold as a hunter from that vid though :) I'd want to see her with hounds but people wouldn't buy from there for a non jumping pack so I'd guess she's been hunting somewhere decent?
 
She was owned by a girl who worked at the yard and then the girl moved yards, went travelling and sold it to current owner who also worked on new yard. She's been doing a bit of unaff eventing and hunting as far as I can gather.

She is being marketed as more of a hunter. She has decent jumping breeding (Irish), but I'm thinking if she's been on a pro event yard and a pro SJ yard she's not really gonna be a great comp horse! but that's fine, not what we need anyway.

She is potentially a bargain due to sale needed asap..
 
Sorry, should have been more clear.

She's not at Exmoor Eventing now, the girl who has her now only has that vid - she's in staffordshire now (hence why I'm going to look! ;)

She's hunted a lot in Ireland/Devon but a bit with the Cottesmore and North Staffs I think, although may North Shropshire.. I get a bit confused!
 
She would have been marketed as a hunter from EE though, they don't do vids like that for the eventers, that doesn't mean she was no good though - they don't sell cheap horses! She looks ideal from that vid though :)
 
i would be a bit suspicious, why are they using videos from 2yrs ago to advertise? she looks to be very fat and unfit in them and anything can happen in 2yrs-she might be a raving loon by now but she looks like a nice sort so i would view
 
Hi,

She seems okay from the video (except as other poster mentioned the change of rider in the video - but what matters is how she is now) and certainly worth a look - I'd question the need for spurs to be honest and use of leg - may just be the riders style?

:D
