And this one was the top lot

I don't like its jump, sure it gives plenty of height but it drops so sharply, surely going to give its front legs jip in the future.

Wow!!!
I have to say- I'd love one that had that much scope, god knows how you'd sit on it but I'm sure it will mellow in time, just nice to know it's there underneath you when you need it!!

How do you know it sold for under 2,500?
I actually like the second one more than the first.

Results page says it sold for 3500 Euros. Is that really less than £2500?

I just went on a currency converter and
3,500.00 Euro = 2,345.18 United Kingdom Pounds

Is it really? Feck! Didn't notice! Will have another look!
I was going to suggest that perhaps her x-rays weren't very good.

You're right! The first one does appear lame.
Oh glad I chose the bay.
I think I love him actually!! What a jump for a 4 year old.

yes, I thought she was holding her tail strangely and her quarters looked very tight too.
What a shame, she looks lovely

So did I but it made ALOT more! Still don't like the way it dropped so sharply though.

I don't think the second one is that scopy- his ears go back every time he jumps the bigger fence- to me, it looks like he's worried and is over jumping.

Oh, dear! I actually liked the mare. Have just spent some time watching and re-watching that video and have only noticed couple of disunited landings which she corrected straight away (not sure how important is that though). I liked the way she rescued herself when someone rushed her into the combination - she jumped across and really looked and assessed the fence - I was always told to look for the signs the horse is thinking how to clear a fence not just to jump it.
As to the lamness I am stuck as can't see it. All I see is a horse with a very low tail which additionally she carries low which gives her a bit of a wolfie outlook. If anything she looks a bit tucked in but that just might be stress and so on. She might also have a slight conformation fault having her hind legs much wider then the font ones; so I only see high action but not any lamness. If she really is lame I am rubbish at recognising that
The second's horse's jump is out of this world! Amazingly cheap, both of them!

almost looks like stringhalt to me but the disunited landings are a bit of a question especially considering the age.
I thought this horse looked questionnable behind as well and noticeably was the second cheapest at the sale! http://www.horseauctionbelgium.be/stockdetail.php?horse=20050028
As for the top price wow at the hind end but as said may be interesting to sit to!! Quite like the Heartbreaker 5yo mare as well

It looked almost knackered. But then it is only a little 3 year old.

The 2nd one has SOME pop, wowza. Love it.
Rather like this one too: http://www.horseauctionbelgium.be/stockdetail.php?horse=20050019 He looks like a nice sort, intelligent.
This has got one hell of a pop as well:

I liked her too. She's not lame but she's not 110% on it.
The second horse is giving masses of air but I'm not overly keen on his style.

What a fab trot! Maybe she is a real witch to do anything with
ETS: I can't see a lameness in the chestnut one, she is quite extravagant behind but I wouldn't say lame. Plus she is not straight which makes it harder to see, I would want to see her trot on a straight line and hard surface before classing her as lame.
The 3rd horse (a bay one) which someone put up is most definitely lame though.
