Bridget, I am not currently looking for a prospect, but to answer your question about whether or not any of us buy youngsters, I can tell you that I do. For me, getting a youngster, starting them and then bringing them along is one of my favorite things to do. In fact, every year or two I buy a young horse just to enjoy this part of their training. Generally, I get them started under saddle and then ride them on the trails for six months to a year. I buy them with the intention of selling them after this portion of their training is complete. In addition to a project horse every year or two, I have two up and coming endurance mount, one currently competing endurance gelding, and a friends gelding. He's here for remedial training :<> Good luck Dawna -----Original Message----- From: Brickson <brickson@delanet.com> To: Ridecamp <Ridecamp@endurance.net> Date: Saturday, July 08, 2000 9:38 AM Subject: RC: bringing up baby >Do *any* riders buy their own youngsters (much less than competition age, >like 1-4yo) to start?
