In general how do people go about finding a horse?
All of my previous horses have simply come into my life. I figured out what work made them happy and we learned that discipline.
Now my daughters are riding but they’re younger and need something already started and mostly ready to hit some local fun shows.
I’ve been keeping an ear out amongst friends. I don’t have a ‘buy it from a training barn budget’ at this point.
I’m not in a big rush but I don’t have high hopes that “the one” will simply show up again in my life.
Ideally I would like to find a family who has outgrown or doesn’t have time for a former 4-H horse.
A handful of people have been recommending a livestock auction with some nice looking horses moving through each month.
I’ve never even attended an auction!
I understand the concept but that’s it.
Any ideas where to begin my search?
