I would keep shopping around until you find a horse that is what you want AND that you can afford. If you don't want to work with a green horse, don't! You want a horse that you can enjoy.
It can take a while to find the right horse. I think when I was looking for my first horse, it took about a year, for my second horse it took a few months! Don't jump on the first horse you see, you want a horse you will be happy with, that is at the right level, and has the right personality!
I got an amazing horse for $1000. She was 16 at the time, and well trained, English, Western, and I found out she jumps as well!
Look at horses that may not have papers, they tend to be cheaper. Just make sure no matter what horse you choose, you get a vet check done! (And you test ride and spend some time on the ground with it)
Good luck. Patience will definately pay off!

Please consider gettting a thoroughbred who has been retired from the track. There are many organizations that have these horses, such as the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, ReRun, New Vocations and many others. These are not just old horses, many are 3 and 4 years old and just need to be retrained; often the cost of adopting one is as little as $200-$300, usually under $1000. Not only will you give a beautiful animal a new start, but you will show your mom that you're smart with your money (I think she already knows how much you love horses :-).

if you think the first one has potential take his as an investment. Put some basic training on him and re-sell him for more money, then you'll have more money for the older more experienced/talented horses that you are really looking for to be competive with. Sure the one you want no prolly won't still be avaible but then you might find something better in a few months or a year after u re-sell the the young one.

I 3rd the sentence- " Dont depart your loved one for any one you favor"..besides, you by no means stated your zodiac.... You seem to be fairly younger however you notice - you would constantly suppose what could have occurred - it haunts many a married females who married after long run relationships. Logic says you will have to check out- but it surely is going each approaches. One alternative is that you simply check out with the gemini, it really works for a at the same time. Then it doesnt, you check out to return after which see your Piscean guy has moved on. They say that Pisceans are well to discover- rough to hold. You would now not get him again when you depart him. Another manner it might move, you'll move into uncharted waters. Try out with gemini then it really works after which you're joyful it labored out. Both approaches there are professionals and cons. So do what makes you suppose pleased however get ready for any penalties there are to comply with.

WAIT!!! the best advice i can give you is that there will always be another horse out there for you. when i wanted my first horse we sprung for the first horse we could get our hands on...later we regretted it; so wait and get a horse you'll love forever (and that's affordable.)

take the first one for now because you may grow to like him if you dont you can always sell it and get another one.... or if you work up the courage you can ask your parents it doestent hurt to ask
