Hi Rachie well a horse is a big deal as there is alot involed as you know. The rite height for you would be 15hh but I dont know what size you ride on while your having your lessons . You want something that CAN BE TRUSTED CAN BE EASY TO HANDLED & MOST OF ALL SOMETHING THAT YOU LIKE . I payed $3000 for my boy & to get something decent you have to spend big so just look around 1st & dont buy the 1st horse you fall in love with as there is always one better just around the bend cheers Fin

Because of hard times alot of horses are being put through the sales with most ending up at the doggers. you can pick up some very good riding horses cheap there. Take a experienced horse person with you to sus them out. At my local dogger he would ride them first and let me take them for a spin . The dearest cost $1000 for my big boy Cobalt . cheapest was $200 a 15 hh. old grey gentle old lady who was very good teaching the kids.
I would recomend an old plodder to start with . Move up to a faster horse in the future...
