What do you think about these horses?

First one looks to have a nicely shaped jump, but flatwork as it says does require work, from the picture it looks like the horse isn't even nearly tracking up, which is the first thing that should happen in order to work in a correct outline, so I wonder if the horse has been pulled into the outline as opposed to it coming through natural balance, but having said that it's nothing that won't come with a bit of hard work. The second horse I don't like the shape of it's jump if that is what you are mainly interested in working towards, it looks quite lazy in picking up its legs and you may find it rolls a poll more-so than the first horse, again, correct training can change this. What's your budget? If jumping is your thing, I love the look of this one! http://www.horsedeals.co.uk/horses-for-sale/sj-horse---bsja/By-Numero-Uno__17-1-11-845122 if your budget stretches that far!!

I like the horse in your link, unfortunately budgets not that big. My budgets 3.5k but could stretch a little more.
 
I like the first one but agree that the flatwork picture is weak. I am not keen on the shape the second ones forms over fences, and think you can get more for your money in the current market.
 
Both are nice horses. Not 100% keen on how the second mare is jumping as often dangling a foreleg and not clean in front. However, both mares are being sold as safe for nervous riders so think they are both worth their money..
 
Dont actually like the first one, very 'upright' looking and not actually a nice ride by the looks of hose photos, the jumping one I actually think it looks like it's charged into that..
The second one-has the most horrendous photos! But might be a nice horse under that? But not really floating the boat for me, espec not at 4 K!
There are nicer out there, a nice RC allrounder for 3.5k shouldn't be that hard to find that looks nciely put together.. I'll go look now:P
 
I think it depends what you want. The first one makes a better shape over a fence and probably has more ability. But is obviously green and will need bringing on. Are you up for that challenge?

The second horse, has been there and bought the T-shirt, so if you want to get straight on and out and have a horse that knows the ropes then that would be the one to go for. But probably in the long-term has less ability. Also depends what level you want to compete at.
