Many people that are new to the horse industry get taken advantage by more experienced horse owners when it comes to purchasing horses. I've witnessed many people make critical mistakes because they do not have any base knowledge before they buy a horse.
I see horses and riders paired up incorrectly all the time. I want your first purchase or pairing to be the right one. Just like every person is different, every horse is different and you need the right horse for your personality and skill level.
