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.

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.
