Are Warmblood x Friesian good at eventing?

Thoroughbred type Warmbloods are pretty good, the Frisians usually(but not always) don't have the body type and enough scope to compete at high level eventing. Warmbloods and frisians are known for jumping but in cross country, a phase of eventing, it's not just jumping, it's running. In the lower levels, you'll see all kind of breeds ranging from cob type horses to grade cross horses to the most elite sport horses. It's all a mix at that level, and I think she would make it fine in that. Also, because she isn't broke, you can't tell her full potential, she might be a crack, but might not. Also, did you get a conformation picture? That picture doesn't tell you anything about her body type. Usually a good, motivated seller will include a few good conformation shots. If the owner didn't send you one, I'd start to ume she has something to hide like a major conformation flaw. She sounds decent enough to take a quick look, possibly bring your trainer if you have one for a second opinion. $6000, that's a pretty reasonable price. Her head is pretty though.
