| As a previous poster stated - transitions - they will tell the story of how soft the horse really is .... It irks me when the video starts and the horse is already loping a circle and cuts off before the transition or the stop. |

| I've had several people tell me they don't like my horse based on sale video. Hes young but shows smooth transitions, nice stops, collected at all gaits, bending in his circles, and some counter arching at the trot. I did only show arena work though. Strange. Thanks guys. I thought my video was great. I'll probably just keep the little dude. |

Location: LA Lower Alabama | I want to see what the horse knows. If it is just started then I want to see it moving off well. iI it runs barrels I want to see a competition run start to stop. If it's a reiner I was to see a competition start to stop. And so on and so forth. |

So this tells me they see something. Could be a movement issue or training issue etc. |

Post your video here, maybe we can help identify some of the issues. |

| Hes quirky and being very upfront about him. But people are saying the video throws them off. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=edyOq8UmnLA |

Have they changed their opinion after seeing your horse in person? Or they're just not interested enough to look after the vide? |

| I think the video looks fine, sounds like tire kickers to me. |

Location: LA Lower Alabama | Its super shakey and that is all I can complain about. Sounds to me like they are just tire kickers like someone has already said. |

Location: Deep South | A lot of people will ask for video with absolutely no intention of coming to look at your horse. I make sure to include a youtube link in my ad so I don't have to waste my time sending them to the dozens of people who just like to sit at their computer and watch sale videos all day, daydreaming.
I think your video looks good. If a serious buyer has something particular they require to see before they make their final decision, they will ask for it. |

| Does the horse have a tail extension?
The tail looks funny, almost weighted.
The music made me want to shut it off half way through. I would prefer not to hear music, but to hear actual sounds, such as you speaking to the horse. how is the breathing.
It also looks like you keep a lot of contact on the reins, some people love this, it is not my style.
There were no walking and trotting away from the camera from straight on, I like this as it shows me how the horse travels, and I can send it to my vet for an initial lamness look.
The first stop the horse did, I also didn't like as the rider's body movement was exaggerated and the horse didn't really stop that nice.
This is being very critical, I can see how some people can be turned off, depending on the price tag. If the horse was over 10k, I would expect a better video. |

Lol he's cheap. $4k. No tail extension...? The end of the video I dropped reins and went loose for that purpose. Thank you for your input. Gives me an idea. |

I rewatched the video, he looks a little off on the front right when circling to the right.
The video is a little far away but it looks like he is landing toe first and not heel.
This could be scaring people off.
Also the tail swishing is another red flag for soreness issue and he does this when you are reverse arcing him.
