RE: [SPAM] [RC] Free Horses ... - heidi

My only reaction is that in my experience, it is a mistake to put unstarted horses with kids.  With some occasional exceptions, kids should have well-started horses with some experience, and young horses should go to experienced people who can start them properly.
 
Some sage once said that the combined age of horse and person should never be less than 20--and I think there is a lot of merit to that concept.

I am always getting calls for horses but I had the tables turned on me
tonight. I very reputable arab breeder in our area just called me. She
has 2 geldings, one is not quite a year the other is almost two. She
needs to cut back and wants to know if I have any leads to give them a
good home. She wants to know where they are going and approve the home
before letting them go. They are registered purebreds. I would take one
or both if I had room, they have been started with ground work and have
great pedigrees (I haven't seen them myself yet). As we were talking we
discussed that either an experienced 4-Her or a junior endurance rider
would possibly be a good fit. I have a few juniors and 4-Hers in mind
but most would want a horse they could ride sooner. Does anyone have any
ideas or interest in this?
