These animals are usually not worth messing with. The adoption fee is $125.00 but you also have to have the proper facilities. Almost anyone is better off buying a domesticated horse. I have been in horses for over 40 years and have yet to see a mustang that was as good as the lower end of the domesticated breeds.
There are exceptions, but I would urge anyone thinking about getting a horse to not let emotion steer you wrong. Get a nice, broke older horse if you are inexperienced. Don’t get a young horse and for sure, don’t get a mustang.
Check out your local breeders, vets, farriors etc. Find someone to help you get the right animal. Most horse people are good about steering new folks in the right direction.

thank you for that

Been riding a TN walker lately and have found them to be really a nice ride and something I wouldn’t mind getting.
A neighbor has two quarter horses and thinks they’re the best all round horse?

if you have time what is your opinion please?>
