In response to newcomer to horse ownership buying our 1st posted by papergirl56:


The folks who are telling you an untrained horse should be around $1,200.00 are nearest to correct. However, a horse is worth whatever someone will pay! I know that doesn't help. If you are buying your first horse, you should be looking for an older gelding, maybe twelve to fifteen years old, who has been ridden a lot in many different situations. The people selling a retired racehorse are trying to re-coup some of their money most likely. As a first time horse buyer, you need a horse who has "been there and done that" - in other words one with a lot of experience.
I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have..
