How much money can a horse for a 18 yr old be?

hi

I am a 18 yr old girl who would like to ask a question about how much money is the amount to spend on a horse for an intermediate rider?
i love to ride, i have a lesson every week and i am keen to get my own horse and lease before i am sure it is the one i am keen on buying,i currently have a job and am working as much as i can to earn the money to try and get a hose but before i buy i will be leasing the horse.

soo could anyone please help me by answering all my questions , i would love it if i had some help?

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...

rachie, i have replied to you, re coming to our place, from your profile page, so check out my offer. we live on the tourist route, highway frontage, and breed 5 different types of horses. you are welcome to come and have some hands on experience, or just watch how we do 'everything' associated with the property.
all our foals are handled from day one, so nonips, kicks, ect and all 'parents' are the same. we have lovely state forest to ride in adjoining our property, dams to swim the horses/or yourself. i see you like animals, we have the lot, pet kangaroo, open natural reptile enclosure- for injured and pets. aviary ect, so it is never boring, always something to do- when it is not show or breeding time. we have 4 horses presently in work for the shows, so are quite busy, lots to do or see. regards t.
