An unqualified opinion is basically synonymous with an unwelcome opinion, for some.

People who have spent their entire riding careers with jumping horses, despite their age, are indeed qualified to have an opinion on the jumping form of a horse. I may be young, but I have 12 years competition experience on jumping horses and I dont think that should be discounted because Im not 60. My opinion holds water whether anyone likes it or not.

But the horse is basically preservation bred, apparently, which is a whole different animal...

  
And your opinion in this respect is worth alot more than my opinion even though I'm older because I don't have experience in your area of expertise.  Why is that so difficult to understand. 
tacos.

There are only a few people on this forum who I would say could give the "best" advice on jumpers and considering I groomed and worked with and rode grand prix and A circuit jumpers for a good 15 years I should count myself as one of them and I don't. 

Shiggins however would likely top my list.
