[QUOTE="MillIronQH, post: 310263, member: 4658"] Your talking about buying a horse for the kids and you. When it comes to kid the 21 rule is an absolute in my book. The age of the youngest kid and the horse must equal 21. Even that does not guarantee a safe horse but it's a start. Keep shopping. A retired ranch horse or trail horse is your best bet. No ropers or barrel horses etc. If you can read a man you can usually read a horse. Look for one with a kind eye. One that just says "I'm here and I'm ready to please". Whatever you might dicide on get a pre purchase exam on it first. Take it home for a week or two. This will not only tell you what the horse will do in a strange place but will give any drugs it may have been given a chance to wear off. These are your kids. Trust a new seller like you'd trust a new babysitter.Z [/QUOTE]
