There are two sides to this issue:

• If you buy an already broke horse, it could be good, or you could be inheriting the horses "baggage."
• If you buy a younger horse, you may create your own "baggage."

I've experienced both to a pretty small degree.  I'm not sure what is better though.

 

Yes, bottom line, I think it boils down to how well you and the horse clicks regardless of age.

Wow!  Thanks for all your suggestions privately and on the group.  My next question which occurred to me because of  what many of you have said is, Does it "matter" if I buy a young weaningly and raise him or buy a 3-4 year old that is started and going well, in how likely we will be to bond.  On one hand, you can bond as the baby grows, and yet for me, I can really "see" a personality when they are under saddle.  I guess my preference would be to actually be able to ride the horse and see how he acts, responds to stimuli, me, etc. etc.

thanks, faith
