Yeah i agree with tally, most horses (not all) are up for adoption for a reason.. weather it be tempermental, or health/soundness related or the fact that they are not broke and need a lot of rest/recover/rebuild time. You really gotta know the "game" or have a lot of money to put into a rescue. I would try and look for a nice prospect in the 1000-3000$ range that is already proven sane & healthy and has had a good amount of u/s time and is in good condition.. even then.. Be sure to get some kinda vet check done before you decide to adopt or buy, and make sure you have someone very expirenced (like a trainer) go with you.
Lost and Found Horse Rescue Foundation, Inc. has some possible prospects that my friend (devine) said could be pretty nice with a lot more time under saddle and retraining
