    I am I deffinatly dont want to rush things. (The longer I take the more money I save wich equal a better trained horse)

    This guy would deffinatly be a dream if I met him and everything was ok.
    I dont have that much right now though working in the summer it would only take 2 months to save that up but with school Im not sure how long its going to take. I also dont know if I have this job yet, Ive been putting in rusume after resume for grocerie stores etc but no bites.

If not, make sure you're looking extremely closely at the horse's form on the ground and over jumps and making sure that they are SOUND. That is the most important thing.

    good luck!

    Ya I worked at a barn that had 4 Arabs. They were all super sweet and good to ride. 3 were owned by someone and the other I was offered to have for FREE!! She was awsome to ride but I couldnt afford her at the time.

    Good luck getting your own horse!

    Just wanted to add that I really wouldn't get a horse that has any known soreness. Garth (the horse I leased over the summer) was just started on something because his back and legs were really sore. When I started riding him at the beginning of the summer he just wanted to run and he loved jumping. By the end of the summer his owner and I both realized something was wrong. First she thought it was his hooves that were bothering him since the farrier was pretty late coming, but now the new leaser told me it was his back and legs. He went from a horse that loved to be ridden and absolutely loved jumping to a horse that would fight with me through the arena gate. Hopefully with medication he is doing better now (I haven't talked to his new leaser for a little over a week).

    Sorry that was pretty long but I just wanted to give you a little warning about what a problem that can be.

    Keep us updated!
