- Buying a horse is difficult and trying at times. We have had so many people contact us about horses they have purchased that have not been what they were expecting, and they are reaching out to us to help them figure out what they should do to help their situation. Any horse that is online or on an online auction should be available for you to go and try out the horse to see if you are a good fit. You should be planning to save back a bit of money in case you need to have another trainer work with the horse or work with you so that you and the horse are on the same page with cues and commands, they are not all the same. Once you have paid for the horse it is your responsibility and you really have no recourse. Video can be taken several times for the owner to have the horse do the maneuver perfectly. You never see the blooper reels on a video for a horse for sale. You can bet they selected the very best takes that they had when they made the video for the horse for sale. Be smart, buy from a reputable person that will take you out to ride the horse you are considering.
Preach it , I'm not buying anything I can't put my hands on or throw a leg over.
Agreed
Sir, thank you for this video. I learned this the hard way. What happened with me was, I went to work and ride the horse, but when the horse got home with me it was a totally different horse. I had to do some basic groundwork to establish respect and boundaries. What I did was not a long process but could have been avoided.
Your welcome Chad I hope helps a lot of other people before they buy
Do you sell other breeds of horses? Non registered?
No we pretty much only sell registered fox trotters and we do not sell any grade horses but thank you for asking
@@MrMikemeizler thank you. Enjoyed your videos. When I was much younger I was a novice rider and had a couple of quarter horses. My last one I had when it was born and raised it until I was able to get her green broke by an experienced rider. She needed someone with far more experience than me so I sold to a friend who wanted to breed her and I got her QH who was trained in western pleasure. I felt comfortable riding her. Apparently she was a handful for her which surprised me so she sold her to someone else who couldn’t handle her. She had a mean streak. She was never abused in any way and was very gentle except when I started trying clip her bridal path. I had some friends who were very experienced with horses and they couldn’t get her to let them either. When she was a yearling she tried pinning me against a stall door and I began to realize that she was going to be too much for my limited experience. I’m 72 now and haven’t ridden in forty years due to life issues. I wish I could have a gentle horse under saddle but it’s not possible anymore.
