horse #2: - AQHA
- 2yo, halter broke, has had someone on it, not "safe," probably not farrier or tie broke (needs lots of basics)

*** papers info are all within 3 generations of the horses***
Horse #1 is closer to me and has had a lot more time, effort and care. Horse #2 has been ridden at least once. Both have "good" conformation. Horse #1 will be much bigger than horse #2.

Do paints sell well in your area? I would take that into consideration just in case I ended up not liking horse #1. If you purchased horse number 2, you would have a lot more work to do but would be able to ride/start much sooner because it is already a 2 yr old.
In the end go with your gut, you are the one who needs to be happy with your purchase at the end of the day :)

depends on how fast you want to start riding/showing them... I like the sound of horse #1, but it will be a year behind the other. So depends on if you are in a hurry or not.
