Video of finished penner/sorter I am considering

Hi all, I am posting this to get some feedback. I am already buying a finished penner/sorter, but we all share the same addiction, and you can probably relate. I cant stop buying, because its a buyers market if your willing to look.

So, heres the link.

There is a video, and that is really what I want yall to see. There are a few things that catch my eye, and wanted to see if any of you could see it too. I wont say what I see until you have watched the video.

Thanks to all who give their constructive critisism (sp?)

UM, I do not see a link

Oh crap, I got distracted! Sorry, brainfart!

Here it is:

All I could get was a slide show.. Was that it

If so, she is just a two year old and would really need to see what she really does under saddle. She is just standing there in this.. Two, she is very young to really know anything..

With that in mind remember I am a halter person and have a very fussy look I like to see on a horse. I will tell you what I like about her. She has a nice long neck. Her head is not too bad. Does look like she may need a float only because of the stucture under her face. She has nice color and looks to be quiet.. There were not shots of her front and back to see how her legs fit in.. Everything was from the side view..

She is VERY LONG in the back and bottom side. I would be surprised if she can move (get down in the dirt) to sort cattle or do penning. The shorter body moves better for that kind of work. I would also be interested in her bone structure and how big her feet are.. A horse that does this kind of work should be big boned and have nice big feet.. The price was way to high for a prospect.

Just what I think. And, that does not matter much. If I was looking to get a team penning horse or sorter she would not be the one for me..

Ok found the video.. Still do not think she is what they say she is. And that rider needs a few lessons for sure..

Amen! For a horse that they say is "trained" in sorting and penning, she doesnt look like she moves...how can I say it...loosly. He always has the inside rein pulled in, and she doesnt look like shes giving in the face, or neck. For a minute I thought it was the rider, but I kept watching, and decided it was both.

I didnt like the way he rode and didnt like the look of her ride. To me she looks green, very green. Plus to have a finished sorter AND penner at two years old....makes me wonder .

Thank you for your opinion, I appreciate it. Her build isnt bad, but I think I will leave her in Michigan...

The fact she is only a 2yr old and they claim she is trained for penning and sorting tells me they are not very honest about what they are selling. Makes you wonder what else they are not telling the truth about. I thought it looked like she really was just getting started under saddle. And, not many rides on her. You can really see this when she goes in to the lope..

I feel you need to be honest about everything when selling a horse. I guess that is why I do not sell very many.. I could not face a person if I lied to them just to get a sale.. Some people have no pride I guess..

I think she has flunked as a pleasure horse so they are passing her off anyway they can.

Just my pennies worth but i was told not to touch there horses with a barge pole. Ive liked a few of theres but made enquires.

Few people have imported there stuff over here and they not what was described on the tin if you know what i mean. Have had soundness issues and temperment issues.Again this is only what ive heard.

Also isnt it a lot for a 2 year old to be doing,penning etc. Bit much for the surely putting all that strain pressure on young growing bones.


They had a pally and a grey i liked,but am everso wary

Thats why its so hard to really judge a horse on the internet. I know people who just buy horses from ads and have them shipped in. They end up regretting it most of the time too. I guess Im the old fashioned type, I have to go and ride, before I buy.

Oh well, this just makes the flea bitten grey Im buying look better and better. Plus shes a better deal, at least I know for sure this horse IS finished in penning and sorting.

I hate it when people make their horses out to be better than they really are. Its all for the sale, and to me thats not cool.

I would also be ashamed if I lied to someone just so they'd buy my horse, karma would get me back. Thats how you get bad reputations, and that can ruin alot of things for anybody.

Thanks again for the input!

Karma never seems to get them in the end.. They just keep screwing people over and so people think we are all this way. I would much rather have someone happy with what they get from me..

Keep in mind that buyers can be liars too.. I know that Karma will get them in the end. It always does..
