Bridl note
"The priority is finding straightforward, attractive hunter prospects with good brains and natural lead changes. The buyer prefers geldings approximately 163cm or taller, although excessively large horses are not ideal. Horses do not need perfect X-rays. Minor findings such as a small chip or limited low-risk imperfections can be considered if the overall horse and veterinary picture remain suitable. Young horses are welcome, with 4yo+ being the main target. Exceptional 3-year-olds can also be considered."
