It's a great way to see a lot of horses at one place. Sometimes my sister and I will rescue a sad horse at an auction; other times we end up with decent trail horses or lower level hunters. I just have to be a really, really good detective and interrogate the sellers.<BR/><BR/>I've been thinking of just ordering a horse online, LOL! Wouldn't that be sort of like a mail order bride?

However, I have a younger friend who has been scearching for a horse for THREE YEARS! I might have to go shopping soon though, when my filly gets moved in her new home (aka: my farm) and it lacks companionship. At least she's like Wally, values people and carrots more than other horses...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-7191735579797084072008-02-28T13:44:00.000-08:002008-02-28T13:44:00.000-08:00Too bad you're all the way across the country- I l...Too bad you're all the way across the country- I live in PA and work at a stable where we have lots of good trail horses for sale (www.skylinestables.com, but it isn't updated often- we're usually pretty busy)... try www.horse.com then click on classifieds. You'd be surprised what you can find. Correction on the spelling of a previous comment- horsetopia.

They've never had any, and I couldn't buy them anyway, but it's still fun! Mostly though I look around at top stallions (like Shining Spark! Oh, he's gorgeous!) to breed to my mare someday.<BR/><BR/>--SasafrassAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-5423817545474382922008-02-27T17:16:00.000-08:002008-02-27T17:16:00.000-08:00You should look on horse topea. they have hunderds...You should look on horse topea. they have hunderds of horses on there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-64585339490281690062008-02-27T16:44:00.000-08:002008-02-27T16:44:00.000-08:00That's exactly what I'm going through right now! I...That's exactly what I'm going through right now! I'm not very specific about what age/breed/color/height/amt of training etc, but it's still next to impossible to find a decent horse in my price range! My parents had spent the first 16 years of my life telling me they could never afford a horse, so when they finally told me I could get one, I practically went through the roof. But now, 5 months later, it's getting a little anticlimactic. I just want the perfect horse here, NOW, before I start getting grey hairs from hearing about any more undisclosed medical problems!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-760621015762502862008-02-27T16:31:00.000-08:002008-02-27T16:31:00.000-08:00Haha we had three horses brought to us from Michig...Haha we had three horses brought to us from Michigan.

While hunting on line, I find my tastes are quiet expensive! However, the minute I show them to friend(s)(?) they are quick to point out minescule flaws to try and put a damper on my prospective buy. "And you are going to pay how much for that horse?!" I have learned to shop alone...best that way, and if I do ask an opinion, I say "What do you like about this horse?" If they can't find anything, I buy him anyway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-68130266436873349642008-02-27T10:13:00.000-08:002008-02-27T10:13:00.000-08:00wow I am sorry, I took the risk of going to a hors...wow I am sorry, I took the risk of going to a horse auction and I luckily ended up w/ the best horse I could buy. sometimes you have to try your luck and see what you get.
