Buying a Horse
Have a vet evaluate your prospect for soundness before purchasing.
Pay attention to the horse's attitude and disposition.
Choose your discipline and objective, and stick with it.
Choose a breed you prefer, but be willing to look at other breeds for comparison.
Set a price range.
Set an age limit, but be open to a span of five years around that age.
Figure out ahead of time what questions you want to ask the seller.
Choose a horse with good, quiet ground manners.
Choose a horse you can develop a relationship with.
Decide what perfect-horse aspects you can sacrifice in order to meet your budget.
