Hi,

For you I would recomend a horse between the ages of 10-15. If you can, ask your trainer if you can spend a week with one of his/her's horses. If you know of someone else who has a horse, watch them with their horse so you can have even more experiance! The breed of horse doesn't really matter just as long as you find one you like. Unless you are gonna use this horse for a specific reason.Appalosas tend to have more energy then most. Quarters are great for western practices. Arabians make lovely show horses because of their slender heads and all around beauty. TBs tend to love to run and just will do anything.(however I wouldn't suggest doing any form of poles or barrels, they tend to have long legs)Warmbloods are usually used in english events.Well those are just some of the breeds. Let me know what you want to do with your future horse and I can help!

Best Wishes,
Casey

12 yr old sorrel quarter horse stallion!

i agree with casey size is a matter you dont want to be over horsed or underhorsed for your first horse i suggest you get a size that will suit you and bring on your confidence plus bare in mind that its not about having a flashy horse pick a nice sturdy horse or pony that can with stand any climate make sure that you pick a calm relaxed horse the first time and is a good allrounder as i know plenty of people that have picked hypo horses cos there flashy i.e. tbs and arabs e.t.c there to much work and can scare you so ask your trainer what kind of horse will suit your riding ability but please if you do get a horse there is a lot of work involved make sure its the right thing you wanna do cos it won't be fair if you neglect the animal.

take care any questions just ask. but please belive there are good days and then there are the bad days but dont let it get you down


lots of love
kate and shayla
