Doesn't look 16 hh to me or maybe just a very tall rider, and the video doesn't show much

Like it very much. Probably is 16hh - man riding it so hard to tell.

Would be even better with a smaller jockey, a shorter tail, a correctly fitted saddle, and bit of weight off.

I'd look at it though.
 
To me it doesn't look right behind. However it is being rushed and not really ridden that well so it could be that.
It doesn't look proffesionally schooled to me and I hope it didn't go like that in the dressage it has done.
It looks like it could be nice with decent riding but atm not worth £5500
Sorry but that is my opinion.
 
Sorry but I don't like it. There is something about it's movement that does not lie well with me. I also think it is way overpriced.
 
No that's fine I wouldn't go and see it and from a totally unexpert opinion it legs don't look right for its body

, shame cos it's got a sweet face

way to much money!!! looks like it would ride very much on the forehand, neck is short and thick, sugesting it would struggle to work corectly in outline, as well as the muscles on the underside being more developed than the top line, so I would say it would be a bit strong at times. And if the person on board has done the schooling I have to add I do not think I would like his way of riding, although it is hard to judge from a few pics.
 
No I'm not too keen either, she looks really plain. i'm sure she's very sweet but I don't know where they thought up that price.
 
Dont think its worth no where near £5,500!!! I certainly wouldn't pay that anyway.

Its ok to look at, nothing special though and its flatwork doesn't look all that. It also needs to loose quite a bit of weight too (although that is easily sorted).

Think she will make a nice horse with quite a bit of work but certainly not worth the money
 
This is really rude, and for that I apologise in advance, but it looks to me like gypsies trying to sell a horse!

I think it looks awful, and the rider looks like a pikey.
 
odd back end movement...could be just the rider, or the deepness of the school...or me making excuses for an unbalanced, and not very well put together horse.

i certainly wouldnt pay that much...if i wanted to buy it

Sweet looking, but fat and inactive. To me looks like it has only recently been brought back into work. Nothing special about its movement, wouldnt excel dr/showing at all. Def over priced.
 
did anyone else notice the neck strap? for something aged six professionally schooled, i would expect the neckstrap to have been taken off, just my opinion, i know some horses can be ditsy but for that money i would expect a bit more
 
Terrible photo's but aside from that - short neck, compact horse, not sure the height is correct, deep girthed but basically overweight!
Far, Far too much money and I'm not convinced the description of what the mare has done so far is accurate!
 
Definitely not worth £5,500 and professionally schooled!!!! Hate to unprofessinally schooled then!

Nice enough little horse, wouldn't say she was over 16hh, but pictures can be deceptive. Needs to muscle up and lose some weight and dishes seriously, which would lower her value in my opinion.
