Answer 1

google is your friend - search "horses for sale" and it will come up with a bunch of classified ad - search engines.. Lots of in exspensive, quality horses

Answer 2

Craigslist has a bunch of horse listings.  

Answer 3

Equine.com, Dreamhorse.com and Horsetopia.com are all good sales sites.  

Be aware, as others have stated, keeping a horse is very expensive.  Between hay and grain daily, farrier every 6-8 weeks, vet as needed, wormer every other month unless you use a daily wormer and equipment, you will run up large bills (several hundred dollars monthly).  Also, if you do not have a proper shelter for your horse, you will need to board and the cost of boarding can run anywhere from $100 -$1000 per month depending on where you live.

There is a reason equestrian sports are considered "The Sport of Kings"!

Answer 4

HorseClicks.com is another good site

2 year old "female" is called filly, after 3 it is a mare.  Why do you want a filly/mare? do you have plans on breeding later?

If you do, let me tell you that you can buy a baby a lot cheaper than you can raise one.  2 year olds are too young to  ride hard- the attention span of a 2 year old is about 20 minutes, if you are lucky.  Do you have the experience to deal with a young horse?  Perhaps you need to look for something that is started over fences, spend a little more but save money in the long run.  Board at $200.00/month is $2400/year, plus other expenses such as farrier and vet.  Save the first year's board, now you have $3000 to buy a horse with.

Good luck

Answer 9

You have a computer, check out Craigslist, lots of them on there right now.  Also, local papers, etc.

Answer 10

If you cant spend more than $700 on a horse, you cant afford a horse. Hay is over $400/ton in the south for alfalfa and $200/grass/costal. Then you will need to pay farrier, vet and worming costs etc. Get a dog

Answer 11

There's a reason you can't find a 2 year old that can be ridden or jumped...THEY ARE TOO YOUNG.  Most people don't even start a horse under saddle until it's at LEAST 2 1/2, if not older.  So even if you bought a started 3 year old, it's not going to know much or be capable of much.  Unless you know how to train, you need an older horse...8+ years preferably.

Even many 4-6 year olds are still green.  That's why I say 8+.  WIth good care, many horses are living to be nearly 30, or even over 30, nowadays.  Get something a little older and you can still have it a good 15 or 20 years.

Answer 12

try craigslist, horsetopia, equine hits

Answer 13

We have gotten a lot of horses from this website... try it out I think this may help

www.dreamhorse.com

Answer 14

First off you can't ride a 2y/o horse...and you ESPECIALLY cna't jump it!!! Maybe you should wait until...

#1You have ebough money for a horse you can ride.

#2 Learn more about horse care..I don;t mean grooming and feeding I mean you have need to learn more about what is in your area, and learn more about horses in genral.If you didn't know you can't ride a 2y/o for more than MAYBE 20miniutes TOPS, and NO jumping and NO cantering...you would ahve to train it.

I would lease a horse before you go around looking for a "2 year old female $700 horse"

It would basically be a rescue at that cheap...if you leave anywhere near Ohio I would definetly recommend looking at www.lastchancecorral.org

They ahve very cheap rescue horses, that are trained :)

GOOD LUCK...and keep studying

Answer 15

surely you aren't planning to jump a 2 year old?
