My two kids, ages 4 and 8 are ready for a "big horse" now. The minis just don't do it for them like they do me. They want something they can RIDE.
Did you see my listing for my paint gelding? He is 8 yrs old and very gentle and calm natured. My 4 yr old loves to ride him around (I usually pony him with my other gelding). He would be good just to ride around or to begin showing with at a 4-H, open show, or APHA level.
I have an arabian for sale for $1100, he is registered, has done endurance, rides english or western, has been used in lessons and trail rides. He is 10 yrs old and 15.1 hh, live chestnut, very pretty. I also have a 13 hh qh welsh cross we use for everything, lessons, camps, trial rides, birthday parties and shows in english and western, he is 10 yrs old also. I want $3000 for him though. If you are interested in them email me and I can send you pics.
