Mini Horses
Herd Master
I agree with what everyone has said!! Get a horse you can ride, enjoy and love. For me, I've always love a "spicy" horse but still one who has a good head & isn't a danger.
The first foals I trained from birth to adult were minis! A little cheat but, same issues, just a smaller package. They still tried you. They also had been running with the herd, so much of the "momma said" type correction was there. I can assure you that young horses need discipline -- always use two voices, good horse, bad horse -- they will respond with that very soon, even when loose in a field.
First horse -- get one you can just LOVE and ride. Always time for a young un later.
