Going to look at a horse tomorrow (first time buyer)!?

[Amy Sanders]

Well I got my first horse about a year ago, she's a 27 year old chestnut trakehner mare. I was getting her from a widow who didn't want her husbands horses anymore. I first found out about this horse from my trainer, (Who I might add was pretty set on teaching me to ride bareback . ) she had taken a pony off this woman recently and knew I was looking for a horse. So she took me over and I walked her around and got on. She's not always the best, but that's because she's a mare and most mares have some attitude! She was already trained and had been in several show jumping and dressage competitions. This is the first horse I looked at, and my first choice. And I know most people wouldn't agree with just taking the one you see first, and I admit at times it seemed like she didn't like me at all. But I felt a connection and kno I'm happy to say she's the love of my life! So ill just tell you this, at least walk her around and jump on for a try, but then it's just a choice, go with what you feel!
