<< I have a video of a 3 year old Anglo I'm considering.  He doesn't have the

 natural extended trot with a slight "snap" (don't know how else to describe
 it) -- the type you look for in dressage.  I'm basing statement that it is
 natural on the fact that the video was taken in the pasture in a herd
 environment & he is not yet started under saddle.  Is this something I
 should be concerned about?

Maybe. Slow that video down and see where this "snap" is occurring. If it's a 
rapid acceleration toward the ground, that may be trouble.
