Buying a horse
Blacktail135:
Would it matter whether or not I search east side or wetside? Wetside horses would be acclimated to this side?

Nope. They will acclimate pretty quickly. We bought ours from a place up by lake wenatchee that still had snow and it was in the 50s down in wenatchee when we brought her home. Few days to get the winter coat loosening up and brushing was all it took. What is your budget? I can ask around here

She’s looking for 7-15 yo, 15h or less, $5kish, partial to palomino, no white. Not getting picky huh? 😂

Way less picky then when we were looking. :bdid:

I'd highly recommend having an at-home trial period. The two horses I was smart enough to do that on went back to their previous owners...
The horse we brought along a trainer my wife worked with so didn't bother with a trial, he turned out to be dangerous and ended up putting my wife in Harborview with 2 broken legs. He went to the Everson auction and I hope he had a short trip to Canada from there. :cue:
