Hi Everyone! I have spent so much time on this forum and seen everyone's show horses, It really makes me want to show! I grew up doing timed events with quarter horses, and have very limited experience with halter/western pleasure. I want to do this right. I want to get my new barn built first. It should be finished this fall/winter. I have been thinking that I would like to take my time and find a nice colt next year to get started with. I want to spend some time looking for exactly what I want. I don't mind paying a fair price, but I don't want to pay a huge extravagant price. I have also been researching shows in my area...there are none! I looked on the amha website and found two shows that are 3-4 hours away each and two more that are 5-6hours away each. Do you guys have any tips on what to look for in a colt? I have been thinking colt, but would you reccomend filly instead? What is the average time that you all spend traveling to shows? How many shows do you generally attend per year? And do you have any other tips or advice? I am in central alabama...do you know of any other shows anywhere near me? Thanks in advance for your help and advice!!
