Are these two horses good for a 40 acre ranch in Texas where me and my cousins ages 13-20 will be riding them?

Answers:
Those are both pretty young horses. They will both need ALOT of ground work before you even get on their backs and at that time you will need to go slow
How much riding experience do you have? Since you are asking us I assume you don't have much. It is best that you talk to your trainer and find out what horse will fit your riding ability.
Maybe you can find some older horses that you don't need to train.
I would suggest you buy horses that aren't so green, especially for the younger cousin. Usually a good age would be about 7-10 years old (if well broke) You should ride the horse before you purchase it, like test-driving a car.
wow, this is a toughy.
First of all, the first link will not be old enough to even sallde break for at LEAST another year.
The biggy hgere is that there is no telling about ANYTHING from just a picture posted on an online auction. The only thing you would know for sure is that those horses will not be slaughtered. Whether or not they would be good riding horses depends on too many factors to be able to judge from a picture and a lot of THAT depends on how good of horse trainers and how knowledgable of horses that you two are.
As far as the 40 acres, with proper care, they should love it.
Good luck with this and bless you for considering resuing horses.
Beautiful!! If you are experienced enough for a younger horse and have the money to break/train then all sounds well.
These two horses aren't good for anyone ages 13-20, unless that person is a professional horse trainer. They are priced that cheap for a reason, and you can find better horses than that for a lot less money. The problem with them is that they aren't even started. That means they might not be halter broke, they probably haven't even loaded in a trailer. They aren't registered, and they're both mares, so they will never be worth more than they are now, since they aren't good for breeding purposes.
I would suggest buying an older horse (age 13-20) that has been ridden a lot. You should be able to find some cheap ones, since the horse market is really low right now. I don't suggest buying at an auction unless you know a LOT about horses and can observe them and ride them before the sale. But at an auction barn, the two horses you are looking at would bring $50-$100 right now. Don't pay more than that for them. You can buy a rideable (broke, experienced, gentle) horse and that will be much better for you and your cousins to ride.
Here are a few to look at, or just look on Equine.com for horses in Texas. These are all broke, and less than $1000:

the acreage is not a problem but you need to see before you by them if they have any soundness problems are they broke to ride and do they have any other health issues they are very young horses and they should do well together as long as they don't have the lamness or other problems good luck..i live in texas and have over 15 horses on 50 acres.
those awfully young horses. i don't like how trail horse is listed last, could be the last discipline on their mind! i had an off circut barrel horse as did my husband during our younger days. it just doesn't seem to totally leave their minds.
i just wouldn't expect to jump on and go.
use care and take your time getting to know them, this could end up great if you have alot of time.
i would say no.. Get you a horse that is already trained and older, like 6+. That way they kinda get out of the green stage and you can feel safer. The one thing you don't want is to get bucked off and hurt because of a bad decision on getting a horse. Take your time, try the horse out before buying them and make sure that the one you get will be the one you'll have forever. Good luck!
It looks like it. But make sure whomever will ride the horses and take care of them gets along with them and that they have no vices or quirks.
i would get a horse that is a ton older like 8-15 that way they r not green
The first horse is not good for a beginner rider at all! The horse is still a yearling and in fact, horses can't even be broken until they are about 3 because there bones need time to mature first... Breaking in a green horse is very hard and should only be done by very advanced riders...
The next horse is only 2 years old, and while she is probably OK to start breaking I wouldn't reccommend this for a beginner rider either... I suggest gettting an older horse that knows its stuff-- I can help you find a good horse for a good deal if you'd like! Just gimme the word and i can make a list of potentials for you-- I just sent one off to someone else today in fact and i have already helped 3 people find horses to buy =)
well do the math , the one was born in 2006, it is 2007 its a yearling. from how i understand it niether are broke to ride. they are just prospects for the things listed. the 1st one is definetly not rideable. if you are or know a pro trainer and have a lot of time then sure they could work out. but since you think a yearling is broke to ride...i would look into a older horse. expecually at your age and experience. even at 20 your experience can only be soo much. get a seasoned horse.
