Right now, I do eventing on my TB gelding. I love it, but he is getting older (15 next year). So I'm kind of looking at getting a new horse. (I have also done reining, barrel racing, hunter o/f, dressage, showmanship & english pleasure)
First of all, I'd probably get a horse 2-4 yrs old, thats pretty much green broke.
The thing is, I'm not sure what discipline I really want to do. I love eventing but it's kind of expensive and there aren't a whole lot of oppurtunies within 6 hours of where I live. If I did want to keep doing that, I'd probably get another off the track TB.
I also like huntseat and showmanship, and there are a lot of those shows in my area. They are less pricey, too. If I did that, I'd either want a Quarter Horse or Paint with a lot of Appendix-Thoroughbred breeding.
What I'm kind of leaning towards is getting an Appendix type horse and doing hunter/over fences/english pleasure classes at breed shows.
Anyone kind of in this situation before? :-P
