Pricing question

First, I am not a dressage person. Think it is beautiful, and believe most of it is very useful in a wide variety of situations. Anyway, while doing my usual perusing if the latest Dreamhorse ads, I saw this horse. She is beautiful, but I thought the price was WAY high. Take a look and see what you all think-I was not sure that although I love the color and look, that dressage judges would (I have been subjected to drafty prejudice in the past in H/J), plus I thought she paddles significantly! I would think that would not be desirable in a higher level dressage horse. Just want to learn here-may be totally off base-let me know what you think! She is also on the small side, which could be good or bad, I suppose.......

20K for a 5 year old horse scoring in the 70's at recognized shows at Training level is a decent price. You're not getting any bargins but pictures show a nicely trained horse, backing up the advertised scores. The scores are justifying the price.

Any GOOD judge at a recognized whould ignore the size and color of the horse. A great example is an "S" judge who pinned (to win) a small white Heinz 57 pony over my 16.3 hand bay Swedish WB - and the pony deserved to win!

I didn't see any winging in the pictures? But winging is not desirable for a dressage horse.
