Im wondering if I could get some advice on buying a young horse.
I currently own a 17 year old Appaloosa x and am thinking towards the future of once he has to slow down/be retired.
I have seen a 9 month old filly at the local rescue centre. She is Appaloosa and her mum is 14h, but unsure as to the sire - could be anything from 14h to 16h as the mare was running with a few stallions.
The yard I have my horse at doesnt have facilities for foals or anything under 2/3 Years old so it has been suggested to me to put her to a stud farm for a couple of years?
Also, can anyone tell me what appy youngsters are like, good to train or no etc?
