Evaluation and Selling
Free jumping is often used to determine a young horse's jumping potential before it can be ridden over jumps or to see the natural jump without a rider. In both cases a good free jump will increase the value of a horse. Jumping horses is a popular event in competitive and recreational riding, and in many case an owner will put a horse up for sale with a video of free jumping. This shows the horse’s movement, temperament and jumping potential, whether or not the horse was used for jumping.

Famous quotes containing the words evaluation and/or selling:
“Good critical writing is measured by the perception and evaluation of the subject; bad critical writing by the necessity of maintaining the professional standing of the critic.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
