So I recently found out the first horse I ever worked and trained has come up for sale. This was my first heart horse and I showed and worked with him for 5 years. He is a 13 yo 14.1 reg. Quarter Horse gelding. He was mostly used for Western Pleasure and last year he won 1st place at the Pa state 4h show in Western Pleasure Ponies. I am considering buying him not only for the fact that I miss him like crazy but because I think he would make an excellent beginner lesson horse for my farm. He is priced for me at $1,200. The only problem I have is I really don't need anymore horses. I currently have 7 on my property. I am in the process of selling one and I think come spring we are gonna sell the rescue filly we got. What do you guys think? Should I go ahead and get him or should I wait a bit until I have 2 less horses?

You are planning to cut back on the number of horses and since this horse means so much to you, I would say go ahead and buy him and if you have to, sell one of the other horses to make room for him.
I am assuming that he is sound and able to fit in to your lesson program. If he isn't sound then a big decision whether to buy him and give him a retirement home would have to be made.
