What do you think of this horse as a hunter prospect?

In my area she is not suitable for even lowest level hunter, except as possibly a lesson horse that goes to some local schooling shows.

Is she an OTTB? Does she have front shoes? Some front shoes might fix that trot. She bobs her head a bit and I suspect that maybe her back is sore or something, in the beginning of the video, maybe the rider is sitting down on her a little hard, I dunno, something about the trot in the beginning looks unsound. And then her reluctance to get any bigger makes me think more unsound.

This doesn't mean she is not useful! If she is super quiet, under age 18, and able to pack around some pony club lesson kids on weekends, she can certainly have a job.

However, no adult would dare bring her to a horseshow in my area. She would be okay for someone's little kid to be on, of course, as a learner. But that's it.

First of all, THANK YOU for a decent video. SO many times people post video that are so artsy, short, or just plain bad that you can't really see the horse.

As for the horse, she is ok, but nothing special. She'd probably do okay at the local level with a kid. Providing she has more training.

I'm unimpressed.

She never tracks up at the trot, which a hunter must, and we never see her at the walk.

She appears to be quite downhill.

She's not truly collected - they've used a harsh mechanical hack to get a head set, but her rear isn't under her, it's strung out behind.

Listening to the audio, I'd strongly suspect she's a roarer, or has some other respiratory problem.

She is lovely! If you can get her quiet like that at shows, I think she'll do very very well.
