It's pretty easy to *make* jump rings in any size and weight you want (just make sure the really thinner-wire jump rings aren't too bendy for how you want to use them).
You'll need only the wire, a pair of wire cutters, and a stiff rod of some kind that's the same diameter that you want your jump rings to be (for example, wood dowels, brass rods, knitting needles, etc.).
...wrap the wire tightly around and around the rod (with the revolutions close together)
...at some point, remove the coiled wire from the rod
...cut each revolution of wire at the top of the wire coil (it will drop off as a jump ring)
Many wire cutters will leave one side of the end of the jump ring not quite flat, so you can leave it that way if it's not important, or you can use a file and file that area smooth**, or instead of using wire cutters, you can instead place the whole wire coil on a round rod that's almost the same diameter as the coil, then use a jeweler's saw (with fine teeth) to cut along the entire top of the coil --this will create all the jump rings at once.
**always open and close finished jump rings *sideways* (one side toward you, and one side away from you).. do NOT open by spreading them "apart"
If you're interested in more info and lessons on making jump rings and other wire findings, check out this page at my site for links and info:

(...look especially in the category called "Basic Wire Shapes"...)
You can make all kinds of fancy and plain chains, and even "chain maille," with jump rings too.

if you want 2 horses i would get one advanced one which is more expensive, and a younger one which needs bringing on. Rosemary and Duchess sound like amazing jumping horses but you can't go by what the owner says unless you have tried it yourself. For an advanced horse, i would go for rosemary as paints are more unusual except shes more expensive. however, there must be some tiny faults with these horses, as no horse is perfect. make sure they have no vices, and can travel well. for a less experienced horse i would go for robby, as it sounds like he is quite sound, but you can bring him on with his jumping. getting a less experienced horse and bring it on can help with bonding more quickly with the horse instead of getting one who's been there done that, unless you want a first horse. it is also more pleasing getting a green horse to do something its never done before, rather that a horse that's done everything. if your a first time horse owner however, i would suggest rosemary or Duchess, and Austin. austin also sounds nice as his not too green but you you can still train him a bit more. also, you've said you have ridden him before, which is even better. go for which horse you click with best. hope this helps! good luck!

I find that ebay is one of the best places to buy jewelry making findings. You can also make your own jump rings, visit http://www.how-to-make-beaded-jewelry.com/jump-rings.html for a step by step tutorial.

I bought the mini size at Joann fabrics and they were not the thin little things you often see but you have to dig for them.
