I did a search, and all the threads I found were 10+ years old.
I’m starting to consider looking for a jumper for myself. My budget will be firmly in the TB/pretty green area, and while I will be working with a trainer, they’re more likely to just grab an OTTB. I’m a bit over the OTTB thing myself, though I’ll take something unraced.
So, I’m looking for insight and suggestions on good studs or lines to look at as I’m browsing around. I’d like a TB or something higher blood, I’m not super into the draft cross heavy type. (I’d like some shot at a jump off ). Ammy friendly brain is most important though, and some scope to get me out of stupid distances when I randomly forget how to ride. I don’t need to jump the moon or win at WEF, but I would like to do 1.10- MAYBE (dreaming here) 1.20 and not feel like I have to be professionally accurate to make it over.
What do y’all like? Where can I educate myself on things to look for? I’m very confident I can pick the “brain” I like to own once I’m on the horse, but I’m looking to narrow my search down from “sound (lol) and alive”.
