He is nice, but very green. And he isn't been ridden well. Where is her outside rein? He has no swing over his back. The canter will improve with schooling and strength but he does seem choppy moving regardless. Still you could probably get that money for him if he has a nice shape over a fence
I agree horsebeckz, I think he's very, very green, and I think they are trying to mask that in the vid, hence the "power ride" that the horse seems to find a bit confusing and unpleasant.

LisaKB - He does seem very lazy, and he seems to drift a bit, which makes me think he's green as a leaf and they lunged him A LOT before the vid. 

HellenK - I agree that no one wants a hunter that runs out of gas half way through a course.  I'm really kind of surprised that a tb would be that lazy, again, I think he may have been lunged big time before the vid.

faye, hampton, HP, everyone, I think it would make a GREAT thread if people who show seriously posted 3 prospects each (more is even better, LOL) one low end "bargan" horse, one mid range horse, and one really really sweet high end and talk about the pros and cons of each.  I think that would be very beneficial on a lot of levels.  buying, showing, confo, breeding, etc.  I'd love that!
