If you look at the pics of Flynn Kanga - click on my name and go to the Demon website advertised you will see at the bottom of the page similar pics of him - ridden in running martingale and gag snaffle - and the upside down neck!
It takes time to get them right - but he never had anything other than a KK Ultra snaffle, and we don't do nosebands either:-)

Just wondered, if you're going to spend money on a horse with problems, why not just get a jumper straight off the track for about £500?

I think that yes she has a nice eye, but I feel that there's stress in it. Quite a bit, actually. Could be pain related, as I'd also take a punt on her having a shoulder/neck problem. That's hardly surprising given the overall look of her, especially tacked up - being ridden is unlikely to have been a comfortable experience until now. Not exactly a happy looking combination, are they?

the 2nd pic doesnt do her justice at all she looks to have kind eye but her neck and back are very long! she looks to me like she may have had a foal too i would be querying all that tack though - she looks like she has learnt to puther head in the air and tank. poor baby xx how much is the lady after?

I'm not sure I would believe the not going forwards part with all that tack on her personally, but the field pic is better. Her barrel still looks odd though, probably through incorrect muscling.

If it was me looking at her....(she looks lovely btw esp in the field) I would want to know why all the gaddgets? And am I a skilled enough horse person to completely re-school as sarahfox says? She deff doesnt strike me as a horse who has been schooled to carry its self and ridder, so ! I certainly wouldnt be able to reschool to that extent, but then I wouldnt feel comfortable sitting on a horse with such an overdevloped neck so I wouldnt buy. She has such a lovely face.....x.x.x.x

The 'needs to be sent on' comment rings alarm bells with me especially when put together with the gadgets. Could she be a champion napper? (Should point out that if worrying was an olympic sport I'd be wearing a gold medal around my neck!).
