Taking on a project horse

1466 Views 12 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Acadianartist
One of my friends, who is an intermediate rider and just starting to get into barrel racing, is looking at buying a cheap project horse to train. She just wants a horse that she can train and run on in fun days and stuff. She has one in mind but I think it is a little old and not in good shape to just be starting barrel training. The ad seems quite vague too. What are yall's opinions?

A $400 dollar horse going into winter is pretty par for the course in my area. No one wants to feed the horses for the winter. Craigslist here is full of horses well under $1000 and some are nice family horses that no one wants to take the effort to feed or care for in the winter.

I would say go take a look. I don't see anything that screams barrel horse to me. his back seems a tad short so he may have a harder time bending around the barrels - but he could be a nice project.
