| I'm buying my own horse. |
Thank you. She does Jumpers. I'm interested in Hunters. Different horses with different skill sets. |

Explain this to us very slowly, OP, because we're having trouble keeping up.
1. You are an adult who has never ridden. 2. And yet you are in the process of buying a horse. 3. Without the help of a trainer, whom you have yet to locate. 4. Or, presumably, any other experienced horsey guidance person, who would also be able to suggest a few trainers. 5. With the help of this TBD trainer and mount, you plan to ride in A level shows. 6. And have already fixed on learning/riding/showing hunt seat, and not any other discipline/style. 7. Despite a complete lack of riding experience (see #1) or horse knowledge (see #3 and #4). Good luck, dear. I'm sure you'll do splendidly. And when you're buying your show clothes, insist on getting a bright red jacket. It will really make you stand out in the ring. |

You are really rude.
Nope I do ride. And have for awhile. I'm from out of state and want to know who's a good Hunter trainer. It's a simple question but it seems no one can answer it! |

Thank you! Extremely helpful! |
Do not buy a horse without trainer input. Ride with a trainer for a while to make sure they are a good fit for you. Once you have established the trainer is a good fit, he/she will guide you to getting a horse that is the right fit for you (hopefully....) Good luck! |
Edited to add hopefully he/she won't encourage you to buy "too much" horse for you. |
Yes, I do have a trainer, but am looking around. Yes I know what I want in a horse and I agree about a horse that's "too much" for me. I have no desire to jump 3' so I don't need a horse that can do that. Good advice. |

| Are you still interested in a good hunter/jumper trainer? Might be able to steer you in the right direction if you're still looking. |
| Yes I am! Thank you! |
You all should be more supportive of this rider. I do believe they want a trainer that has the ability to bring them up to the A levels, and that anyone who rides knows it takes time and dedication to ride at that level. Let's try to be a supportive, inclusive community! |
