The time has come. Im selling Two Socks and buying a new horse. I have found a lot of them that look decent, but first here are the two i like the best.

So what do you think?

  First one is built for Eventing and Dressage, if you want to go that way that one would be nice.  I don't like the second one's neck, too short and thick (nice front end though).  The rest are Okay.  I personally would go under the search engine you used and find a discipline, put in hunters and see what you get.  Many of the horses you listed are more of an Event type, these usually (not all the time) will not place well in hunters, since many don't always have the best form over fences.  There is one (can't remember what number it was) where a young woman was jumping the horse (she was jumping ahead) and his/her front legs were dangling, these kind of front ends can be very dangerous!  Sometimes they clean up with gymnastics, but not all the time.  Are there no farms around you will a possiblity to lease to buy a local hunter?

I actually did put in hunter for the discipline and came up with these. There arent many farms around and the few that Ive looked at that are selling hunters have them priced pretty high.

  You may have to go farther out than you originally planned.  I was looking at horses as far away as Texas a few months ago.  I do like the first mare, but again she is more of a Dressage/Event looking mare to me.  How about taking a look at some other breeds (Paints, QH's, TBX's) and see if maybe you can find something there?

Ive checked all of those sites except horsecityusa which doesnt work when i clicked on it. The only problem with going farther out is the fact of going out to see the horse. And also my trainer says i need to do a trial type of thing at my barn, to make sure its a right fit. On all my searches i put in all breeds, but the ones i tend to like are thoroughbreds.

  Where in Texas are you located?

im located in Desoto. Its like 20 mins from Dallas.

 How far are you willing to travel in Texas?
