*sorry correction, the filly is OUT of a Southern Sockett mare, in case that cause any confusion ;-)
Buffy, thanks so much for this feedback, as I don't know much about paints (except genetics and coat pattern, haha). I probably will go see, just because she's fairly close to my area, plus I made an appointment earlier this week, but I will definitely be paying close attention to the concerns that everybody has commented on - namely, the asymmetry of hooves and her lightness of bone. In all honesty, the probability that I will take her is quite slim, just because good bone/good feet are my top priorities, but I'm taking a look, just in case the photographs don't accurately reflect her build and/or she has a stellar temperament. Assuming there's nothing terribly wrong with her, I'd be getting a REALLY good deal, so she may/may not be worth taking a chance on, even if she just ends up being a riding horse, not polo.
I know this bit could probably go under the hooves/angles thread, but I was wondering what type of underlying conformational fault could result in her type of uneven hooves, assuming it's not bad farriery? I know that a club foot is a result of a shorter leg/asymmetrical build, but this isn't her problem... one hoof looks normal, and the other looks long in the toe (with possibly an underrun heel), almost like a track horse. Any idea what could be causing this?
