Phrases like “needs an experienced rider”, “not a novice ride”, “green”, or “would suit a confident home”.
Why it matters
“Project” often means training gaps or behaviour issues — fine if that’s what you want, costly and risky if you expected a finished horse.
What to ask
What exactly does it struggle with? What does it do when worried? Can I see it ridden in that situation?
