Looking at a horse this weekend
I’ve gotten to the point with riding that I’m considering buying my first horse. I know it’s a huge commitment, and I’m ready for that. My trainer and I are going to look at and put a couple rides on a really excellent horse this weekend. The seller is someone my barn owners know, and have worked with before, she turns out show horses. The one I’m considering is trained up to Second Level, and has shown previously. What are things I should be looking for when we go meet the horse and trainer? What questions should I be asking? I’ve never bought a horse before, my trainer has though. In this circumstance, I don’t know what I don’t know. Looking for help from the group so that I’m prepared for the purchase process. I’ll definitely do a PPE. Any horse I buy will be in consistent training, and have a great home with barn owners and staff on site. Thanks in advance for your help!
