They're going for a niche in the fancy hunter/jumper market, which likes them TALL. Not many of them were very flashy, either.

To me, it's more of a shocker that they are jumping these youngsters so much. It's too hard on the young knees and hocks - these babies won't last. In the "other world" of non-race folks I came from, horses never lifted legs over poles until they were three, and then it was limited to cavalettis. Four year olds got 2'. It wasn't until a horse was five and the bones were done that we did hunters and such.
A friend of my sister's had a young warmblood that her family dropped a wad of cash on and imported from Germany. The "trainer" they worked with jumped the heck out of the horse at three and the horse was crippled at five and done. Just ruined. The horse was 7/8 Thoroughbred - before folks jump in and say yes, but that was a WARMBLOOD.

So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
beside the website being very... colorful and I can read the font from 5 feet away. My impression is that all of their horses seem to be very fit, and well evaluated by the trainers at the farm. They all seem to have long backs (to my eye) but perhaps that is what they desire in their prospects.
Moving horses in any market right now is hard so I wish them the best.

Sorry, but I can't STAND when people have horses for sale and the pictures are terrible. Blurry, weird angles, standing on their backs???
Whatever happened to cleaning a horse up and standing it up to get a good conformation shot? And some of them are so skinny. Yuck.
I also don't believe that first horse (listed as sold) was 16.2 hands. Are those people GIANTS in the picture? Big boned? Where???
