Hunter or Hunter Prospect Wanted!

Huntseat123 · 07-14-2005, 01:25 PM

Well I'm having such bad luck with finding horses on my own, so I figgured I'd have you guys help me. The whole point in me finding a horse was so I would have my own by the summer, and I have yet to find anything that I like and that works out.

15.2HH or taller
$3,000 or cheaper
Trained in or has the potential for Hunters- prefferably started over X rails
4-12 years old
In MI
Potential or Trained in dressage (does not matter THAT much)
Has been or quiet enough for trail riding

No WAY more than that. Umm I've lost count but I'm sure I'm coming up on 10 horses that I've gone to see. I've liked 2 of them so far, one is the grey who I haven't ridden and I'm still deciding on weather or not I should. The grey is the only one (other than the bay that Kim rode) that I haven't ridden.

Who's the other one that you liked? What didn't you like about the other ones?

Huntseat123 · 07-14-2005, 01:38 PM

The other one I liked was Patchwork, who was over priced but we gave the owner a more reasonable offer and she said no, so we offered a little higher and she said no. Any higher than what we offered would have been WAAAY too much, other than the price she was perfect.

I went to a very well known (and I've heard only good storys about him) horse trader around here. He showed me quite a few, all of them had the western pleasure look and thier movement wasn't too great. None of them stuck out to me.

I'm not being picky about the size or color (I hate greys actually lol) or breed even. I guess I'm just too picky with thier movement and thier training.

Just none of the horses that I've seen have really stuck out. And with my price range I know I'm not going to get a drop dead gorgeous floaty mover, but I still want something atleast a little nice.

I understand

Just didn't know you went to see more so I was curious!
You'll find something..don't worry! Sunny's a really springy mover and she was cheap!

Huntseat123 · 07-14-2005, 01:46 PM

Thanks for the encouragement. I just feel like there is NOTHING out there right now.

I can go on my big search for you again

But I can't right now, I have to go bath horses. Well hold on I'll look for one

zorse · 07-14-2005, 01:52 PM

Wait a sec..I thought you would go for something as small as 15h because you're short??
