[QUOTE="Ranger107, post: 568684, member: 4357"] That is also a difficult question to answer. Horses that are raised for racing, usually thorobreds, are not usually good trail horses or good for recreational riding. They tend to be high strung and difficult to control. Not that they can't be retrained but it takes time and patience. Back in the midwest, Nebraska, I had an OTTB, an off the track thorobred. It took me 3 or 4 months of training to make him a decent trail horse. And, around other horses he still wanted to race. You can buy a horse from a kill barn for 2 or 3 hundred but they are usually malnourished and not rideable. There are rescue groups that buy these horses and try to rehome them but we are talking maybe a hundred or so out of several thousand a year. A very sad problem. [/QUOTE]
