Would appreciate opinions please?

I didn't watch them all the way through as short on time but first one - can't see any issues but he doesn't do anything for me. The second one may be unsound behind. Left hind in particular. He is also straight through the hock and has very low dipping hind fetlocks. I personally would worry about his soundness. The third one keeps going disunited in canter. I would again suspect a soundness issue due to the frequency of this occurring.
 
Thank you all for taking the time to reply. Having read all of your comments and really had a think about it I've decided I'm going to look for something with a bit of experience that I can just get on and have fun with. I've evented previously Though only unaffiliated so having took on board comments I think it would be a safer bet having something with experience. I don't know why I just had in my head that I could get a nice youngster and hopefully it would be my horse for life so to speak. Plus I can't seem to find anything with experience that I like the look of. I guess I i need to keep looking and wait!


If you've got the budget this sounds like a great way to go. Best of luck and I look forward to hearing how you get on!
 
I'm agreeing with Themule.
I quite liked no.1, for a 4 year old he was going nicely and wasn't being pushed out of hIs comfort zone, letting him find his own balance. It may be on the forehand but he is only a baby, and has good jumping lines. Plus he jumped off wrong legs couple of times but that didn't phase him. Out of the 3, I say he'd be the easiest to bring on as he's pretty much a blank slate but happy to work.

No. 2 looked iffy, I'd suspect that he has a bit of a dirty stop and can be nappy. Not my type at all.

No.3 was hard to tell, woud need to see in person but I didn't see a lot of character from the vid.
 
Thank you all for your comments. Really appreciated. Was just generally looking for opinions so you have all been helpful. I'm so out of touch. What would you expect to pay for a horse similar to the above or on the other end of the scale one with experience and fairly consistent record at BE90?


Friend of mine had a horse "quietly" on the market at the end of last season. Good record from 90-100 and has done a few Novices well, with the expectation that he would go further. He's a delight at home, easy to do, so good for an amateur to look after. She was asking 25k.
