Re: June 29, the pre-purchase
I have bought a few horses that I leased first, did not PPE. Have only done so for horses I as meeting for the first time. Never bad to have a vet check though, even as a formality. Congrats & enjoy your trip!

Re: How to manage bolting?
I would also move her along. She won't be suitable for DD, and iirc you have lots of lovely mounts of your own. She is a really cute mare, I'm sure she'll make someone very happy.

I'm so happy for you! I remember when you got your beautiful grey girl, but don't recall having difficulty with her ( i haven't been on the board very much lately). Wonderful that you were able to work through problems and get to the other side.

Re: On the forehand piaffe
This style of piaffe is often seen in horses who have it taught and/or reinforced from the ground. The hitch on the left indicates it is probably done with the handler on the left side, likely at the shoulder tapping the horse on the croup. Zonik is a dramatic mover, and we've seen in the past that ...

Re: The club foot argument.
I would guess that horses on grass, who move around slowly as they graze, are more likely to switch shoulders as compared to those who are fed in piles of hay and basically stay parked.
