Viewing a 3 year old. What to ask!

[Thyme & Me]

I'm seeing a 3 yo irish sport horse mare tomorrow. Already asked about:
Catching, loading, feet, teeth, wormer, vaccinations, leading, temperament, manners, vices, ability to be in stable or field alone and in company, sweetitch, sire & dam, health probs/injuries and what work horse has done. Am I missing anything?

I have asked for her to be left out so I can see how she is to be caught. I will lead her in-hand, groom her, handle her feet, touch her all over and lunge her. She has been lighly backed so I may tack up and ask for her to be ridden. Won't ride myself 2moro but might take my RI with me another time if I am really interested. Anything else I should do?

Thanks!!

how she copes with the unexpected? is she sensible or a stresshead? maybe walk her out inhand in a bit of traffic?

before i got my bubba, i asked to lead her round the village (she was two at the time), which she hadnt really done before, but i wanted to know how she'd cope - she was totally unfazed

I guess the biggest thing is who and what you want her for and how she would be living with you...?
