Low level Dressage / Hunter prospect?

What do you guys think of this guy for basic dressage work on the flat and local hunters? He looks like he might have some nice potential, seems quiet for his age and has a nice swing to him. Thoughts?

He looks quite spooky, but that can be fixed with time. I think he could use some dressage, it will help him build the right muscles.
I think if you did dressage for a while(maybe a year or two) he could turn into a nice hunter. But I thinkyou would have to use dressage to build muscle and get him focused on you and not everything else in the world.
:) he's cute and I like his face

He did seem spooky at the beginning and still in a bit of track mode, especially at the trot. Some additional confo shots in this video. He's the second horse featured, the chestnut...

I don't think he was spooky more looking aroud trying to understand the whole ring. In the info it said that it was his frist time in that arena and jumping.

I do like him, love his canter its nice and flowing. He would need alot of flat work/Dressage But, I think he is worth a look.

I actually liked the movement of the grey appendix mare the same people had for sale better. (I stalked the sellers a little bit...woops!) But he seems like a cute, willing but VERY green baby. Remember that when you take such a green horse on at 5 that it will take them a few years to develop mentally, physically and emotionally. That being said his whole topline needs significantly more muscle and he needs to learn to go in front of the leg. A whole heck of a lot of dressage, hacking and desensitizing would go a long way with this guy and he will probably be worth the effort but the OTTBs tend to take more time to relax, mature and develop the muscles needed to compete. Good luck with him if you get him and keep us posted! Also, as far as the price it's higher for a green TB but he was never raced and should vet clean so that's a big bonus and probably worth the price.

What a coincidence— I was actually looking at the gray appendix yesterday! Now nothing is set in stone, but I might be seriously interested in that appendix, as my parents and I are trying to work out the logistics buying a horse. That gray appendix is high on my list... :) By the way, I used to be under a different username but some people from my old barn tracked me down here and were harrassing me. Anyway I just thought that was crazy coincidence lol!

Is your handsome bay and white, Danny, not working out for you? I can't watch the vids :( Sorry.

Our friend recently lost their horse to a severe colic, so we're helping them shop!

Oh good for you. I have to agree with Fehr, I'm in love with the amount of white that horse has. Gorgeous horse. What area are you guys in? I'm at work for the next 8 hours with A LOT of time on my hands. Let me know if I can help you find some horses

A good for you! Gald that nothing happened to your handsome man!

I really like the look of this guy, he seems to move nice. But then I know VERY little about dressage and hunter. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
