| EQUINE PREFERENCES |
| The more flexible you can be in your specifications, the
more likely it is that we can match you with a horse. 16 hand, dead-broke
quarter horses between 5 and 15 years old rarely make their way to the
USERL. However, we may have a 20 year old, well-broke appaloosa that
would suit you very well. When making your specifications, please make
sure you indicate the absolute maximum and minimum you will accept. |
