It's in illinois, but you can cross borders.
Goal:
A hunter horse. Not a 'made' pushbutton pony, preferably between 15'2-16'2. 10,000 or less, preferably less.
The girl that this is for is a good rider, but she's little, so though she has good form, position and ability, she doesn't have the strength to handle a firecracker. However, she does have regular, good instruction, and her instructor is willing (and able) to ride the horse/school the horse if needed.
Something larger has the hunter strides, but smaller would fit her better-so something that can do the hunter courses would be phenomenal. Lexy (the girl) would also prefer something not 'old', but young enough that it has something to learn and she can move up, with.
Suggestions? I did some searches late last year that turned up stuff, but due to the barn owner going apeshit, she couldn't bring a horse in at that point.
So, I let all of you loose on this if you have any time to spare! I'll post my finds on here and you can give me your opinions. I don't know what they look for in hunter, so I have no clue.
