2005 QH gelding....started on barrels - nice looking guy! Little more than your price limit, but maybe you have wiggle room.
I'll look more later. :)

He's pretty Jessica!
I'm sorry that you're on the hunt again Morgan. Have you made a decision about Soco? Poor guy.

Good luck in your search, I guess you know what to do next time, get X-rays etc before bringing it home. The problem with some of the barrel horses as you know since you've now experienced it is they are run hard and it messes them up and sellers are not honest enough to tell you. Sue actuallly had a real cute barrel pony, I thought of you, he was quick but also slowed down fast so he wasn't nuts, her daughter thought about keeping him because she knew he'd be a winner, he was fast but then she decided not to keep him because they got a real good Western Pleasure horse in and she was needing one. The barrel pony got sold yesterday. I hope Soco will be OK, do you still have him? I hope if you can't keep him he will get a home where they will understand his needs and work with him. It's so sad what people do to horses.

I am sorry you are going thru this, morgan! the horse Jessica posted looks really nice and only $200 more. Is that very close to you? Good Luck--you deserve a great horse!

equinehits.com doesn't let you do x miles from whatever zip...so here are some in PA I found, I'm sure you can look at the city/town they are in and figure out from there

Oh, Morgan, I am so sorry.:( I am way behind on everything that's been happening around the forum, so I'm not sure what's going on with Soco. But if you're looking for another barrel horse, I guess it must be pretty bad.:( I'm really sorry you're going for this.
I did find a few.
This one sounds like a great trail horse, but doesn't say much about barrels so I don't know...

Pretty much the same story with mare.. she's young, and sounds like a nice prospect, but you're probably wanting something that at least knows the pattern, right?

I like the sound of this one. She may need some work (hasn't been ridden in a while), but she has been gamed before.

This one is a year older than you wanted, but I wouldn't roll him out because of that. I like the sound of him. Might be worth an email.

I like the one Zoel mentioned. It is also one posted, no pic, on Dakotas post.
I like this horse for you due to size and just his over all story. You dont see to many tall horses in games, why I like his size. Id ask for pics of this guy if it were me buying.
Not sure what is going on with the horses hon, but sure ready for the story.

Thanks everyone for the links.. There's a few I'm interested in. We went horse searching today and I found a horse I fell in love with.. great ground manners, he sounds like he's exactly what I want, and tomorrow I'm going to go ride him(only looked at him today). Before that we went and looked at a Belgian/QH cross which wasn't really what I was looking for. He was a tank, though!
For anyone who is missing the story, the full thing is here (http://www.baywindfarm.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6439).. There's 10 pages there for you avid readers. Lol..
Bog(Zoel And Dakota's suggestion) I almost looked at before I bought Soco, and I talked to his owner for quite a while, he is absolutely gorgeous however he's not really what I'm looking for. He needs more work and I don't really want another project horse.. I already have to work with Razz, Proddy and I want to work on Tyke a little.

I hope this guy will work out for you. Take your sweet time with this one. Go back for a lot of rides before you decide to take him home, kind of like what HPH is doing with Jemma.

Aww...beleive me I know how frustrating it is. I am still looking for the perfect match for Cheyenne. She is "trying" to bond with Missy, but it's really not happening. :( Chy needs "her" horse and we still haven't found it.
Good luck and take your time.... it will come.

Sorry you are on the horse hunt yet again. I am not going to post any links as everyone else seems to have covered that corner. I just wanted to lend you some support in your quest. I know you learned from Soco so that is all I feel the need to say on that matter.
