Possible buy?

What do you think of him?

Name:LIghtning
Height:15.2
Age:11
Trained Inressage and jumping
How High He Can Jump: 2'6"
Price:$1000

I like him. He has a calm way of going even in a soggy rink and there doesn't seem to be any discomfort to the way he moves. The rider's hands are quiet and he responds well. I'm not a big fan of a Wonder bit but at least she has it on the top ring. Nothing stands out as a concern.

You say nothing about his breeding but I don't think it matters considering his price and his way of going. I would certainly consider him.

i think he's very cute. but when u say he can jump to 2'6 is that is max height or just how high he's been trained to so far... are you planning on going over that? bc if u are and thats his max height then it wouldnt be the best match.. but he's adorable and seems quite comfortable in his work.

reason i ask as well is, if they are saying that is his max height, maybe there is a medical reason to that and mayb why he is so cheap? just some things to think about

He seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I really like him! He reminds me a lot of the horse I learned to jump on. I agree with Foxy, im not a big fan of the bit, but the only time I say her really use her hands a lot was at the canter. I dont really like the half haults at the canter where you use your hands, but okay (I was taught to use my seat). Anyways, enough ranting.

Yes, I would go look at him. I would ask if I could see him in a normal snaffle. I think he would do fine is a twisted snaffle with a french link, but thats just me. I would def. pay 1k for him!
(Please no rude comments about my ranting... o.o )

I think he's a great guy! When trotting, he paddles out quite a bit, though. But he keeps are really good consistent pace throughout your ride at the trot and canter. I would of liked to see him do some lengthening of stride at the trot to see if he can step more underneath himself. Canter is pretty good and he keeps a consistent pace except when approaching jumps at the canter. He seems to rush and get a tad bit head strong. How is he with picking up leads? You only show him picking it up after going over a jump or he's already cantering.

Overall, a really nice boy! :)

well im not an english person so i cant give you much lol. But it worrys me that he is so sweaty, and when he is jumping she looks like she has a pretty tight hold on him. But again im not an english person and i dont jump so maybe thats how it is?????. But for the price i think he is a fantastic buy. I think the best thing would be for you to go out there and ride him. I do like the fact that after jumping the jump he always took the correct lead. I think he has had quite a bit of training. And he seems pretty calm. I just wonder why the price is sooo low??

he seems to have a very short choppy stride, in trot he doesn't look to be tracking up properly ...

For the price he looks fairly decent. Judging by the foam in his hindquarters she's been working him for a while before the video was taken. So in all honesty I would test ride or at least ask for a trial period.

He's handsome for sure.

I think he's cute! Is he perfect? No, but for he looks really nice for his price. His price does actually seem a bit low though, be sure to try him out and get a PPE. A trial would be ideal
