Horse shopping continues!

Despite having a horse coming in for a trial on Sunday, I can't seem to stop looking!! I'm seeing at least one a day until the new horse comes in....the reason for my nerves about the trial horse? he seems sort of behind where he should be training wise for 6 coming 7. 

But after seeing the horse I looked at today, I don't really know if there is anything to worry about! The horse I rode today was really fun, but almost TOO quiet and TOO finished. Crazy things to say, I know. But there is not much to do here in the winter with horses other than ride in the indoor (due to rain) and I just feel like I would have nothing to work on! She was absolutely sweet and adorable though, and I jumped around for the first time in a long time. 

Damn you hunter hunch! 

I'm not super excited to see the next two horses, but you really can't tell what they are till you go see! I can't tell if I'm being really indecisive or if I'm being smart by exploring all options. Ugh. Also I'm shopping by myself 99% of the time right now (unless my non horsey BF comes with) so I'm being even a little more wishy washy than normal cuz there is no one to back me up!

Also, a question to anyone/everyone: Do you have any horse shopping "tricks"? For instance, a horse I'm seriously interested I will ALWAYS lunge the horse at a trot on a small (long lead rope length) circle on hard ground. It makes any unsoundness really obvious and has saved me from many an unnecessary vet check. It was actually something recommended to me by my vet when I was horse shopping a lot years ago. Curious to see if anyone else has little things they always do when trying a horse.
