Best place to look for dressage or eventing school master horses?
I wonder if anyone has had good experiences with particular breeders and/or know of any “school master” horses for sale (or where to best look for such horses besides word of mouth). I am getting more involved in dressage/eventing and would like a horse that “knows it’s stuff”–suitable for an beginner-intermediate rider.
If you want a “ready made” horse that is good for three day eventing you need to look in PA, MD, NY, NJ, and around that area.. Dressage you need to look at KY, Tenn. or surrounding states.
If you go to top breeders or top farms with trainers you are going to be looking at around 80k easy for something you can get on and go…
Here’s the problem with that when it comes to Dressage or mannor of riding, the horse is trained in how the trainer taught the commands, not in how the rider knows how to give the commands. Everyone has there own fashion, little things they do, conformation, and riding ways and they are set in them. So if you buy a “ready made” horse, I would suggest taking lessons with the trainer of the horse to get the best performance.
OR….
Buy a horse that knows the basics and learn it together… nothing makes for a better perfect match then when you learn what your doing as one. If you ask any rider that is in the top of their game they will tell you they have rode the same horse for years and years and learned together.
Even as a trainer, when I am teaching show jumping, I approach every horse as if I have never done it before in my life either. That way I can learn how he/she does it and handles and can come to a compromise that is golden between us. You get a horse that knows already what to do, they are not going to change for you, they are stuck in their ways.
