Top horse last year was $36K! Certainly not what we were looking for in terms of price and training. Didn't want a reiner, header. heeler, or any other performance horse.
Mostly trails with some arena work, but just for fun and recreation. #1 is that the critter be 100% bombproof and reliable. This guy should be that.
As anyone around horses knows, all one has to do is say "a horse can'/won't do that'; then just sit back and watch!
It's a horse, not a Honda or Toyota, eh?
Appreciate all the comments.
