Ya know, plain bay or chestnut with lots of chrome - lol!Average trot with limited extension or shoulder action, I can't quite pinpoint what I don't like, not the gorgeous mover they claim. He almost looks stiff to me at the trot. Canter is decent, good step, more pretty than the trot.He's priced appropriately for what he is. He's a low ender, would need to see him jump. If it's ugly he's over priced if he's average then he'll probably sell at that price. He'd probably make a nice 3 footer for an amateur on a limited budget. But again, I would need to see him jump. He looks quiet enough unless he's drugged or they lunged the crap out of him, lol.

It's really not bad for local shows, and I have just watched two days of the softest, prettiest cantering horses, so my eye is a bit harsh right now LOL

Step 3: Once again insult their lack of life, state they have nothing better to do than bash good, innocent people like yourself.Step 4: Tell them you have better, important things to do than argue with them. This will once again remind them they have no life, making them incredibly jealous of you. Remember, they only said mean things to you because *they* ARE jealous of you!Step 5: Pack up your toys and leave.Congratulations! You have successfully shown the forum who is "boss."
