I've seen a very nice hkrse for sale! But in jumping it gies into trite to change its mead for a few strides. Now can this be solved or is it something that once in the habit it's never to be solved? I dont know if it's the rider, but she looks like she loses focus a little bit that's why this hirse cant change its rein easily?
Translation to what I am guessing you mean, horse comes back to trot for a few strides to change leg when jumping rather than doing a flying change, can this be improved with correct work? answer probably yes depending on it's age and how established it is but to my mind if the horse can do the job required if at times you need to do a quick transition to rebalance it is not going to make much difference unless you are competing at top level, most horses get away with sometimes approaching on the wrong lead when competing and will often pop in a change anyway.
If it is in a sales video the rider may be aware of the video running and be trying to get everything right so being a bit cautious about asking a green horse to change and missing, I would be more interested in how the horse jumps, whether it is enjoying the job and see how it rides when you go and try than overthinking on a minor issue that may not even be one.
