"I would want to see a video where they trusted him on a loose rein without all the overbridling and hardware.... if there was no more info available, I'd keep looking."
I agree 100% - While he seems relaxed, he has total control over his head by all that gear... what happens when he's ridden with only a bridle. Ask for video of him being ridden bareback with only a bridle.
Maybe they could get someone who actually knows how to ride to do the demo. The guy riding the horse in the video rides like a sack of potatoes and is extremely heavy handed. No wonder the horse gags on the bit. I sure like to looks of this horse, and someone with a little time and easy hands could probably make a pretty good ride out of him. Looks like he already has the basics.

Those are draw reins, not a running martingale as some might think they are seeing. I had to look close to be sure, but draw reins they are. Although I think all horses should be able to trail ride, I'm thinking this pony would make a better gaming prospect. Frankly, I like that he is green at 5, especially for a gaming future.Good luck finding a nice trail horse.

The rider is using a german martingale.
You're right. Should have looked at it full screen the first time. Never knew why they call it a martingale, since it is more of a draw rein in principle and action.
