I ride dressage and I have a small budget. I am planning to look for another horse this coming spring, as my gelding is lame(getting worse rather than better per vet…very sad time) and my mare is green broke.
I have never had to shop as a disabled rider before. Usually, I purchased unbroke horses or OTTBs. I don’t really know how to shop or where to look for safe and sane horses of riding age on a small budget. Another issue is I need a big horse or one with a really big barrel, as I have lots of leg to be taken up. How have you guys done it? Any breeds in particular that have worked for you? I don’t have any breed prejudice.
I welcome any hints or ideas. I search the online horse classifieds daily, but I haven’t found anything.
Thanks in advance
