Question: How Long Will it Take to Find the Right Horse for Me?

Answer: Of course you want a horse right now. But be patient! Enjoy shopping and meet as many horses as you can. You will learn something from every one, no matter how brief the encounter. It's easy to make a mistake and buy the wrong horse on impulse. You'll be better off waiting and it  might even be wise to save more money and wait a little longer than compromising with a young, unbroke or otherwise unsuitable horse that you might not find enjoyable or manageable.

You may have to try dozens before you find one you feel comfortable on. Or,you might be lucky and your favorite school horse will come up for sale. You might have to wait until the end of the show season for that ideal older horse's owner to complete the season. But, eventually you'll find the prefect horse to take up the space in that empty stall and in your heart. Just take your time and choose wisely.
