Ive found older ropers to be the best kids horses. They usually have harder more forgiving mouths, and usually are push button. If the kid wants to walk all day they will or run everywhere they go they will for a while.
Luckily we are blessed to have family friends who rope and who offer us their older ones. The tyoe that usually come to us at 17-18 and have a name like red, mare, grey, or black. LOL Those are the best.
I wish you luck. There are facebook groups out there specifically geared toward kids horses. 

THIS!! I had the best, seriously bombproof, easy to load, stood tied for hours and put up with all kinds of crap that little girls do to their horses kind of horse. I now have a foundation bred mare that can get out there with me and run a 17 second standard pattern and if you put a baby or kid on she drops her head and plods along.

I also agree, my first show horse was a roper. He was such a gentle, patient soul.

Location: west of East Texas		What age is the kid?  There is a wide variety of horse for a 3yo kid or a 10yo kid.  The ones I've bought were all online.  Before that, the first one was word of mouth.  The first couple I bought - kids were 5 & 7 - I bought retired horseshow horses that had done all the judge events.  These horses have SUPER training on them and really allowed my girl's horsemanship to develop properly.  After that I never specifically bought a horse for the kids, they just steal mine after I have spent a year or two getting the horse ready for them.
