You could do what I did....
I wanted basically what you are looking for - and same price bracket...
I was put in touch with someone in Dublin who sourced a few horses for me to look at - I went over tried them out - and bought one
Was only £200 to get him sent over. he is a 5yr old TB x Cob - 15.3 and very sane - but not a donkey. he needs schooling - but that isn't a big deal.
Have had him since Oct and he is an absolute star - I love him and am getting back my confidence all thanks to him. (am not a novice - but I had a fall on the road and have been scaredy ever since).
The bloke we used to find the horses has now got lots for my YO and others I know - they have all been as described - he is honest about them and any faults. I can pm you his number if you interested.

I'd say Irish as well, or Irish X TB. And if the one Bossanova knows about is the same one I know about, please come buy him quick ParkRanger before I make a mistake and buy him myself!!

ID x?
I loved the ID that i used to ride. She was so much fun. She would have stupid moments and really laid back moments but always listened to me.

I cannot reccommend IDx any higher. My boy would easily carry a man, he's quiet enough for a beginner to ride he jumps, loves XC, would go hunting all day. Bombproof even with artics. He's a gem - and I paid £1.2 for him a few years ago so it can be done!!!!

An IDx sounds like a good idea.
But if you would like something that is both flashy/fun and easy/sensible/etc., what about maybe an Andalusian or Lusitano?
They can be big with plenty of bone so no probs carrying your OH, and they are supposed to be very nice-natured and trainable....
Just a thought!

Cob cob cob cob cob cob cob
My 15hh cob could take your OH happily, and he's not even a HW one. Plus they are actually really handsome all clipped out (maybe I'm biased lol).
Good luck

I'm actually considering a cob, which is something I never thought I'd say (don't mean to offend but it's my own ignorance!) but prob need a cross as my OH is 13 stone and a 6 ft and a bit rugby player
[/ QUOTE ]
My OH is 6ft1" and weighs nearly 13 stone and he rides a 15.1hh coloured cob quite happily, and the little cob performs his socks off for him.
He does look a little tall but nothing a 15.3 wouldn't cure!
Having said that he isn't a novice, he does dressage, and our instructor has commented that he has one of the lightest seats she has ever seen for a man.
Don't write off a cob, there is one out there for everyone!! I don't consider myself a cob person either having shared an ex-racehorse but I'm seriously considering getting a cob when we finally buy something. Although I don't think OH would consider anything else!
