...Don't know enough to critique a SB, but she is cute. Ask Lady Dreamer, she does SB's.

needs a little bump

She is a nice little mare. How far are you wanting to take her in the shows?

 

[arduke]

we are now starting in just open shows (money issues). We will also try our hand at hunt seat some.

 

[arduke]

how tall would you guess she is?

 

[charlicata]

She looks to be round about 16 hands. We had a Callaway horse at the showbarn I used to work at. He was 5 gaited also, but he had problems with his hocks swelling up. We kept them wrapped unless we were working him or he was being ridden.

I don't know if I'm seeing it right in the videos, but is she cantering on the right lead? Also, if you're going to be taking her to any of the bigger shows, you might want to get your trainer to work on getting her front end up a little more. We had a buckskin horse whose knees would almost come up to her chin.

my trainer right now is not really interested in making my horse better she says she just needs maintaining(total BC) she is cantering on the right lead in both vids on the first direction she picks up the wrong lead behind. in the fist vid she was like 16.2 or taller in the 2nd she was 16 or taller(not taken directly at withers) (different trainers and different styles of shoeing)
