I am a new horse owner and this is my first horse. Her name is Allie and she's a 15 year old Appaloosa. I wanted an older horse b/c I am new at horse back riding, and my children love to ride also. So I wanted a horse with a good temperment and we lucked out with Allie. She is so gentle and loves my kids. I dont' know much about horses, but i'm learning. what do you think of her?
I think you were very wise to get an older horse for a first horse. And 15 isn't that old. She has tons of color and she looks very sweet. Good luck and happy trails.
I love her coat pattern! And 15 is a great age for a first horse (as long as they have a good temperment). You will still have quite a few years of riding with her.
Very pretty mare! And wise of you to get a good, middle aged horse. 15 is right about perfect, means (hopefully) the horse has had a good amount of experience but and has calmed down enough to be fun
And welcome to the HF!
She's got a skinny neck. Looks like she could use a few less groceries. Something looks odd with her right front leg, but she may have been just about to take a step.
If you want a good critique you need to get her standing a little more squared, then take pictures from the front and back and sides.
I applaud you for getting an older mare. You've got so many years with her yet and she's going to take good care of you guys. Good for you. The biggest mistake people make when buying a horse, getting a horse who's to young. Can't wait to see more pictures of her.
Lucky you to have found a horse like her! A horse with a good temperament that is suitable to the type of riding you do is priceless!
