If you find any make the price under 2000! Thanks!

Well, you can't go based on what they look like. You must know that.
This is what I would do (to see if these horses are suited for you):
1. Go out in a pasture with them and spend some time with them.
2. Groom them
3. Ride them a little
4. Wash them
5. Walk them around
6. Do whatever else you think you should do with them.
Do these things to see if you adn the horse are compatible. See if she is quick tempered or not. And i know you say you don't have a prob. to train them, but its always much easier to just buy an already trained, calm-mannered, intelligent horse.
it says there temper and stuff.. but go see for urself.
good luck!
I would get it because both look calm and they can be well traind
i have no idea i no nothing about horses!
The first horse looks very nice, but it looks like the second one isn't trained to be ridden. I would look for a pony who is already well-trained for your sister, unless you have a very experienced horseperson around who is willing to train it for you. Either way, you should try to go look at the horses in person, and you should definitely bring someone who is very experienced with horses who can check them out and make sure they're exactly what you need. It's tough to judge a horse from a picture and a paragraph on a website. If you don't know anyone who is experienced with horses, you could call a vet who works with horses, and they could come with you to see the horse, for a small fee. It's a pain to set up, but in the long run, having an experienced person look at them will save you an awful lot of trouble.
Good luck! You'll have lots of fun with them. :)
the first looks fine, but the second says someone needed to break her. this could be a big task and you need to be expierenced so you might want to rethink the second one for your sis.
the first horse looks good. u shouldnt judge if they are broke to ride by the pics given. in the description it says that she can be ridden in a saddle and a D ring snaffle and barback but in the skills and prospect there is nothing about riding. she may be green broke to ride. she can probabaly have someone sit on her and not do anything, but not hardcore riding. if you are comfortable training a green horse then this may be a good project horse for you. if yor not, make sure you have someone who is wiht you that is experienced with horses that can help you. if you dont have anyone, i suggest you do not buy her. for the 2nd horse for your sister, i recomend you find a different horse, broken already. since she is young she may need a more skilled horse. if you want to ever show your horses, you wnt to buy them registered. dont buy and unregistered horse, it costs even more that what you played for them. this horse jsut looks like a backyard horse, if she wants to ride it, i suggest you keep looking for another horse. i hope this helps! write back with any more questions. im happy to help.
They both sound like great horses for you and your sister.
The horse you picked for yourself looked fine, if you have some experience, but I would pick somthing that is already trained to ride for your sister. The last thing you need is for your sister to get hurt riding a green broke pony.
well i am also around your age and me and my friend are also looking for a horse. some things you should look for especially for your sister are a 3 or lower on the "temperament scale" and the height. remember, horses live for a while and your probably going to grow in to. my friend and i are looking for a horse between 14.2 and 15.1 hands. Also don't forget to e-mail the owner or seller and ask questions. Such as is the horse broke to ride? How well?
how well do you ride? you are going to want to ask if it is for a beginner, intermediate, or advanced rider.
hope this helps!
yea get them
I would not get the pony! It still needs training!! Geldings are the way to go for you %26 your sister. I would get a little older as well!! %26 Ponies are bratier than most horses!! Good luck
The first horse looks like it would be ok for you. but the only way to know for sure is to go and try the horses. The second horse isn't broke. Breaking out a horse is very challenging, and dangrous. Do not attempt to break out a horse with out an adult who is an experianced horse person's help. I don't think you know enough to get a green horse considering you refered to a horse as being 16.7 hands (there are only 4 inches in a hand) ...if you dont even know the correct way to measure a horse, you likely have not been around horses long enough to ride a green or unbroke horse. Also working on training an already broke out horse is alot different from breaking out a horse. If breaking out horses were easy then there wouldnt be professionals that get paid over 500 dollars a month to break out horses.
You should take your riding instructor with you to pick out horses, asking on here won't get you the advice you need. You need the advice of someone that knows how you ride to pick out a good horse, buying a horse that isnt sutible for you is both dangrous to you, and unfair to the horse.
For the first one i really like it! For you-- it sounds like a great match but you could always do a test ride! They never hurt =P
The other horse looks too small for your sister and I think you should look into another one that is more trainer-- they dont mention any training this horse has. and all of the other ones aren't trained either! I'd say Cody's Poco Annie if any-- she looks like she has some training under her belt...
But you never mentioned your skill levels =) so I don't know! Ask your trainer to help you!
