    Hi there,

    It seems like you have chosen a pretty wide range of horse in that their abilities are all different.

    What are some of the goals you hope to accomplish? What amenities do you have available when it comes to a place to ride and train in? Will you have a trainer? Or are you looking for a pleasure horse to amble down the trail on?

    With a little more insight, I'm sure you'll get some interesting critiques.

    They all seem like nice quiet horses. Can't tell much about any of them from the pictures but you could always ask for better pics. For the price of them, each one is worth a look.

    But poor Myiah, the 2nd and 3rd choice might actually go better in the bit if the bit was not put in backwards!!!!!! UUUHHHHGG!!!!

    I would have to see better pictures of Lonesome and Miyah. 

    Would be concerned about Lonesome's back legs - Back left looks turned out.

    But for the price I would look at either.

    Thanks you guys for the critiques. I think that the reason Myiah's bit is in backwards is because she's not used to a bit so you're supposed t ouse a hackmore on her. I'm new to this so I figured to get some experienced advice. I'm not sure on what I'm going to do specifically, I know I know , that's important when you're looking for a horse but I'm pretty sure I'll d osome poles, barrels, just try out some different western activites.Yes I have a trainer. I might do some trails but not just strictly trails. I was aiming for them to be nice and quiet as this is my first horse. If  I go to lookat them I will get more pictures. Also, I can email for more pictures if you suggest that. Once again , thanks you guys.

    By all means ask for more pictures. Also ask questions about the horse's medical history, any prior injuries or issues, also about their general temperament and demenor. And never take the info at face value.

    Try to learn as much as you can about the feeding program and what the horse has been used for.  

    Go and see the horse in person, see where they live and what kind of condition they are TRULY in, look for glossy coat and kind, clear, bright eyes, solid feet and at least a spark of interest in life.

    Take a trainer or your vet and go ride the horse you're interested in. You'll be able to feel (and your experienced trainer/vet will see) is there are any issues or problems.

    Good luck!

    I like the one from horseshoe farms, the mare impress me jacksteel?  and also the last one on your list, the gelding.  Sometimes geldings are better for inexperienced riders. Mares can be awfully moody.   Good Luck.
