Question: Who Can Help Me Choose a Horse?
Answer: It's very easy to let your heart rule your head when buying a horse--whether it's your first or fifteenth. An expert second opinion can help you avoid buying an unsuitable horse or steer you towards a suitable horse that you've decided against for some cosmetic reason.
If you are taking lessons, your coach may be able to help you screen prospective horses. You may know someone with years of experience who can give advice. In the very least you should take someone along who can be objective. They may see something you don't, especially if you are already partially smitten with a prospective horse.
You may have to pay someone to go along with you, but the small output could save you from making a costly or dangerous mistake.
