Buying a horse

(1/7) > >>

 The wife is in the market to buy a “grandma” horse. Where’s the best place to look? Current farrier? Craigslist? Horse sites? Preferably a QH gelding. I am not a horse person but am willing to learn a little bit to help keep her from buying another like the last two!!

Jingles:
A lot will depend on I tended use, for example a flat land horse (arena ridden) is not what you'd want if you are anticipating much backwoods wilderness riding and I don't mean the "wilderness" around places like Tahuya.

Blacktail135:
 She would just ride around in circles in the round pen and around the property. 50ac ours and 100ac the neighbors (all flatland).

We bought a horse this spring that I found on Craigslist. There are a lot of options but I do recommend having a vet on hand for any that you are interested in to give a checkup. It will cost a little coin but well worth it. Stupid things are expensive

Blacktail135:
 I totally agree with the vet check!! The last couple we got were because they were pretty! Ain’t gonna go that route again!
