Adam,

I have been around horses a good portion of my life, have hunted on horseback (none of which were my own) and will again if I am spared awhile longer. I currently own and ride 2 registered Quarter Horses. I agree with a lot of what was said and not sure what I can add to this subject, but here goes.

Horses are a lot of work and a lot of trouble. Only you can say whether the satisfaction you will get from hunting and packing on them will be worth the bother of having to care for them. If you do go ahead, don't worry about a specific breed. I would look for a horse that is already doing what you want, no matter how old, what it looks like, or what breed it is. Get one that already knows what to do. That old saying about the horse and its owner "learning together" is a bunch of BS. Its a lot easier if one of you knows what you're doing. The only other thing I would insist on was one that is gentle and has a good disposition. Life is too short to have to put up with surely people or sour horses. If you don't have much experience with horses, get some before you invest money in a horse of your own. Learn to ride, and more importantly, how to care for a horse before you take on the responsibility of having one. Be aware that the purchase price, whatever it is, is just for openers. The expenses just keep on coming. Horses are great creatures and can add a lot to your enjoyment of hunting, and of life. Just be aware that you will have to work at it. Keep us posted.

Cheers,
Lefty
