Looking for horse in southern PA

[BaileyTW]

I am looking for a horse suitable for some basic dressage, jumping and paperchases. paperchases are most important. Should be able to go out on trails alone (no fight to leave the barn) so I can practice.

must be over 15.1 hands. If the horse shows potential, thats OK, doesn't need to be finished, but must be broke that it is well behaved at basic w/t/c.

I am located in lancaster PA, so I would prefer the horse to be withing 2 hours of me.

Thanks!

glowponie, a paperchase is tons of fun! a course is set up on a trail, and there are jumps, with the option to go around them, and you are given an approximate speed to follow. Then all the horses for that division/speed are judged on who came in closest to the "optimum" time. The one I did last was at Fair Hill, MD on good friday, it was tons of fun. Its not competitive at all, which I love, and is great for a trail rider like myself that likes to add some x-country into the ride.

So a paperchase = a hunter pace? Sounds like it

[BaileyTW]

could be. I'm not too familiar with the different terminologies, the ones I've been to have been called paperchases. Could be the same things people call 2 different things.

Still looking... will also trade for my TWH. I am looking to get away from gaited horses... I miss trotting.
