Video says she’s a 2015 mare, meaning she’s turning 5 next year, meaning she’s not likely going to hit that 16.2. But I guess crazier things have happened. She’s nice and slow legged. I love the TIAH’s. They are not strong lopers usually, but this one is at least super soft and cadenced. If she doesn’t grow you gonna be happy with a 16HH HUS? Super pretty and Iove her top line. Neck ties in a bit low. I think she’s a purty gurl.

Built downhill, so getting her light on the forehand will be constant work. Not driving from behind, does not have her hind feet reaching her front hoof prints. Not sure if you plan to jump, but these things can be problems for that use.

Whoops sorry, yes she’s 2015 and actually 16.1

Ehhhh…not sure. Better mover and further along then #2 but she is noticeably downhill and chances are it’s not going to even out since she’s coming 5.

Are you seriously looking at these and going to be trying them? If not, we generally don’t like getting too specific critiquing other people’s sale horses for an OP who is just window shopping and not going to be making a serious offer to buy one of them. Yes, they are on the Internet so public but…

Are you going to go try these?

I actually like this mare a lot more than I thought I would at first glance of her confo pic. She’s slow legged and moves like a big girl. I actually really like her and think with some forwardness she would have a lovely o/f cadence. She just looks careful and intentional with her feet to me (if anything, maybe a touch lazy). I wish there was a better confo photo. At first glance she looks downhill and awkward, until I realized that the photo is angled and her feet aren’t even. I’d like to know if she was intentionally set up like that, or if she naturally wants to stand her hind end up underneath herself. If the seller set her up like that, lol, if not, IME that is an indicator of pain or tightness somewhere in the back/hind end and standing in a way to relieve it.
