Nice mare. Looks cute as a button on her "featured" photo. The still photo doesn't look as good. Her head looks a little disproportional to the rest of her body. Her pasterns might be a touch straight. How's her shoulder angle?
Her jump pic is decent, with her knees up. It looks like Greta is trying very hard over this fence... Is she scopy/sound enough for what you want? I would try her over some larger fences to test her scope, if you want to jump her.
Greta's description makes her sound like a nice horse for the amateur.
If you are willing to spend a little more, try out Jules. That horse looks nice too. He/she need to put on a couple pounds, for sure. But, that is the horse I would try out first!!!

From the pictures she seems as if she is a perky mare. She carries her head and ears in a very pleasant manner but it does look a bit forced. Her jumping form seems nice enough over those fences. I would prefer seeing her jump with her ears perked forward instead of back. These pictures are obviously from a show setting so it would all depend on what she's like everywhere else.
I would get a prepurchase exam done for sure. She is only 9 and already has done eventing and fox hunting. You want to make sure she will have life left to continue advancing in the over fences world. Of course it all depends on what you and your trainer want to accomplish...

The motion underneath is congruent, without any excessive snap in the joints,( efficiency of motion) even though she doesn't appear to be fully collected, and the rider hanging on to the face too heavy, her body is a little long yet she appears to be fairly strong behind.
Other than some rib drills to free her laterally, she is a nice horse, her strong points outweigh her faults. If she is mentally soft she would make a very nice horse.

Very Thoroughbred-looking ... and if she's a warmblood, that figures. Looks as if she is obedient and willing, but she's sort of long and thin in the neck. But I'm used to Quarter horses and Appaloosas ....

her history is great, she's not the prettist horse out there her neck muscles need some toning as she seems to have her legs well engaged and well under her body, and her price is great for all her training and most importanly her conformation looks sound, really nice legs and the angle of her feet seems perfect, she has a cute face. make sure she has had no history of founder or leg problems, and see what her foals are doing if she has had any it's not really important unless you think you get bred her .

She's a beautiful horse that seems like an enjoyable mount. However, she has a bit of a hollow neck that I would have liked to see it look more feminine with a bit more tone.

Tennessee walker or something like that. Very pretty, elegant. I would say thats a great show quality horse. Also, very large. Our horses dont seem that big... She's beautiful.
Why do you ask? Cuz i like the sound of Buckaroo more. He looks awesome and we have tons of trails around here that I could take him on ^.^

she looks like a very good mover, but looks like she has a tendency to lean forward, becoming "downhill". If the saddle fit her, & the rider would get off her shoulders, she could lift her front end up, enabling her to move forward strongly & freely.
