Hi Sue, welcome to the site, the trouble with asking people to help you find a foal can mean that it can be construde as a form of free advertising . why not look on the for sales pages, or put an add in the wanted pages. good luck with your search  |

Hi, dont buy yet, wait a few months and there should be a lot more to choose from when they are weaned from their mum's.
Yes, and look on the sales pages on here there's usually some lovely foalies for sale.

Yes, place a wanted ad on here!
I did last year & it was great viewing different horses & studs, then you have a few to compare with each other.
We bought the most amazing loving horse who will be with us forever.Like you, he was for my 12 year old daughter. We lost our home-bred yearling to a tragic accident.
So pleased with our purchase.
Best time to buy a foal will be about October?
Good luck.

As the bigger studs seem to get all the attention in a case like this, I would just like to point out that sometimes it pays to go to someone who has only one foal as they usually get more handling on a one to one basis and therefore can be more suitable for a child to bring on. Even so look at as many as possible and don't leave it until October to start as by then the choice is more limited.

Have to agree with Jean here. Most importantly, as you are looking to purchase for a child.....Temperament, temperament, temperament!!!!
The smaller private stud`s foals are more likely to have had hands on handling and are therefore better to assess suitability and `child friendliness` than viewing many beautiful foals in a field, which have not received this `personal handling`
Decide exactly what your Child wants to do in the future, with a new foal.....in hand or ridden/competition foals can vary quite considerably in type.
See many foals, before making a final decision, always make sure they have been well handled....and, do not be swayed that the `most expensive foal` is the `best`
Happy viewing and trust you find a suitable foal, which will fire your Child`s enthusiasm for this most noble of Breeds.

| Hi. A few months ago I bought an arab mare Dakota Lace from Bill and Heather Gore in Manchester, through an advert on the lines. The foal was born on the 21st January, We have been looking after the foal and it is now back with the ~Gores in Manchester, Beautifully bred and a really nice natured boy. If interested give them a ring. |
