Answer 1

NICE HORSE!! Too bad they want a fortune for her!! The only thing that I could see as a negative besides that is I wonder if she jumps fences? My mil had a jumper, and it was impossible to keep penned. I had her out of my place in less than a week! Just ask how they keep her in, how low they'd go, and if you love her, if they'd take payments. The age is perfect... Not too young and yet old enough to overlook. Six is a perfect age to pick up a horse.

Answer 2

i think she is a nice horse from what i could tell but seriously that is an out ragous price the horse market is very low right now you could get the same horse for about 4000 to 5000 i would not pay 9000 unless you can get them to go way down on the price. But if you feel like she is the horse for you and when you see her it is an instant luv connection, personaly you can not put a price on that

Answer 3

She's beautiful... can't see her feet very well due to the sand in the picture, but she is standing good (no signs of founder that I can see). I think her price is pretty good if it's true what the description says.

I'f I'm going to spend 9k in a horse that I'm planning on training, working, and/or showing, having a pre-purchase exam made by an equine veterinarian is a good investment. And you can always negotiate that in the price, but make sure that YOU choose the vet.

Answer 4

If the price doesn't put you off, she is definitely worth having a look at. To me she is a little short in the neck and slightly over at the knee. And a bit heavy in the shoulder. You would have to be quite agile to be able to mount a horse this size. If she has wonderful manners these small -'s can be overlooked. Best wishes.

Answer 5

I think that is a lot of money, I hope this horse can do everything, not just jump pretty in a picture. Can it do it ground work, follow you without a lead rope? Do inside and outside turns in a roundpen without you connected? Is it soft and supple? Can you run a tarp over it's head? Can you shoot a gun off next to it and it not spook? These are things that make a 9k horse, not a pretty jumping picture, lots of horses can jump.

Answer 6

+ beautiful jumper, she tucks her legs AWESOME and even. wow!!
+ shes a good age to buy a horse
+ lovely neck arch and back... beautiful conformation
+ i dont see anything wrong with her actually i think she would make an awesome show horse and can really go far with the right owner. you should try and bargain for a LITTLE bit lower of a price thought, maybe 7,500-8,000 would be more reasonable-- however if you have the money GO FOR IT without a doubt!!!

Answer 7

Theres NO WAY TO + OR - this horse with still pictures you need to see actions of the animal need to see the personality of animal in video or person ,it is priced a litle two much though in my opinon

Answer 8

its a great horse only prob is the price wich if its that good of a horse it could at least go down to 7 grand

Answer 9

Prefferable, I don't like paints, but color shouldn't matter to you if you like the horse. She has good conformation. Is very muscular, but still keeps a straight underline. Her feet look small, but they look like they also have good conformation. She has high withers, which is good. They hold you in place better if you ride bareback, and they also hold the saddle in place better. This is also a person's preferance though. I don't know a lot about jumping, but she looks like she's very graceful in her pictures.

Answer 10

My concern is that she doesn't look straight in the forelegs...(knees). Otherwise she looks beautiful. Be sure to look at her feet.
She looks pretty...now have a farrier check out that horse before you consider spending a lot of money on her. n
