Its a unique cross!  Im sure he is special.  But, a stallion is a big risk.  Think about his size and controlability.  How many people would really want to breed with him?  Money and safety wise he should be probably be gelded.  Would his stud fee be worth the extra time and attention?  I raise Quarter Horses and have been watching sale prices for a few months lately and I was shocked when sound healthy stallions were selling for less than sound healthy geldings.  You just cant beat the peace of mind you get with a gelding.  Nothing is else is on their mind!

Draft crosses, Belgians, and Percherons. Calm horses, maybe quarter horses or other big breeds. Any well trained level-headed horse.

totally depends what you are looking for! sport horse is not a racehorse so anywhere from €10000 to €50000 would get a nice showjumper but a top class one would clost up to and over €500,000.

Palominos are nice horses. There's nothing really special you have to keep in mind, just your riding skills.

I am only 23 but I have been riding for over 17 years now and I hope to still be riding when I am in my 50's! Congratulations to those of you ( men included) who take up riding in the later years. It is one thing to start riding when you are a little daredevil of a child but to be an age where you know what the risks are really involved is something else indeed!. Yes Peruvian Pasos are a very smooth ride. If it is one that you think you want to buy or at least try, make sure that it is one that is a little older as he probably will have been trained a lot more and knows what he is supposed to do. Tennessee Walking Horses are also very smooth. Finding a gaited breed of horse will be of your best interest as they having smoother gaits than the jarring trot and even the canter. I know that as a 23 year old I am really starting to feel just how bad the trot really can be. It requires a lot of work to counteract the jar of it and riding the canter can be hard on your body with certain horses. Best of Luck on finding a horse for you. I hope you find a partner that will last a long time.

yeah dont do it\ni was in your boat completely, right now u need to take lessons and learn as much as u can. by getting one horse you will beriding just that horse for a long time, along with working 15 hours a day to pay for everything! \nmy father wouldnt help me, and i became a better rider and horsewoman because of it. i rode all different horses all different styles and am now applying to vet school to become an equine vet. my dad still thinks it is a "phase" i will outgrow, but when i moved to the middle east to study the arabian breed i think it finally got through to him that this is my life.\nby sticking with it and doing the best you can, your parents will either come around or youll get the means to get a horse yourself. \nlol im just thinking about if i had bought the horse my trainer wanted me to buy... i would never had learned dressage or reining! \ngood luck!

First, I think that u have to look for the horse u want. then u find a good price range. I don't think that  there is a company in horse biz but, there are lots of farms, look in horse magizeens like the Fence poast. (if u can find one at ur local tack store) This is the best rute u can go.

ALOT of people think TB's (Thoroughbreds) mature fast than other breeds.  They are wrong.  A TB may reach its full height sooner, but the joints don't finish closing until around 5 or 6 years.  Lets face it, to race latter would require more years put in to the investment.  It already takes 3 to 4 years to see if a horse has what it takes.  Most people don't realize that race horse train, compete, break down, and retire by the time  other horses that are expected to be in work until they are 20 start work.

try looking on the net, or asking around, or go to a local horse farm and see if the owner will comply with what you are looking for.

the zebra.  \n\nI don't have geological evidence, but I'm gonna say zebra because the horse as we know it didn't run free in the wild: it was made through breeding.  I have a feeling that the zebra and ancestor to the modern horse were around at the same time, and then horses were bred into being later in history.

A three year old (as she'll be then) has the option of showing in a bosal or hackamore so keep that in mind.  I think you will need to look into a trainer to work with him and his horse.  She is still a baby and even a year of riding won't prepare her for the things she'll see at a fair.  Although your grandson may be an excellent rider there is a big difference between controlling an experienced horse who spooks at something but realizes he can trust his rider and a youngster who may panic further when the reins are tightened or her rider slips to one side.  Even an older rider can have difficulty soothing a frightened filly.  While he's putting the training into his filly he could also look for a loaner to take to his first year of fair.  He'll have a better grasp of the routines, and experience with the hustle and bustle of sometimes over crowded rings.  He'll still have the pride of telling everyone that he's training his "baby" for next year.  He'll also have spent the added time really getting to know his 4-H group and making friends who can really help out through the week.  Searching and joining a good group will also give you many learning experiences to take the filly to.  With plenty of people happy to help out.  Sorry for the big speech Good luck

one option might be to give her a series of riding lessons. due to insurance the old style riding stable is getting scarce and not all of the ones left are safe. find a tack shop [saddle and other horse equip] or a feed store and ask them if they know any good lesson stables nearby. you might also check uspc.org for the nearest pony club to you and ask the contact person listed for suggestions. i've known too many first time riders that were scared away because of a bad experence at a trail ride stable. besides she will learn almost nothing about either horses or riding at one. its just get on, hang on and follow the leader. at a training stable she will learn the how and why. be warned however- CONTACT BETWEEN HORSES AND 10 YEAR OLD GIRLS CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR WALLET!!! its often love at first sight and before you know it you may become a horse owner. however there are much worse things for your girl to be involved in. been there, done that, got the empty checkbook to prove it. take your camera, you will not believe the smiles.
