Wanted: Safe, stout beginner safe adult horse

Looking for a safe horse for adult novice (has ridden but still wants the confidence builder type horse), stout to carry 250lbs, and trail/husband safe, easy to catch, etc....$1500 or less

You might try Horseville, or Horseclicks, or EquineNow, as I've seen some on there.

Or find some FB pages that are horse related in your area.

Do you want gaited or not?

But a good safe beginner horse, that is trail ready, is probably going to cost a lot more than 1500, but you might get lucky.
