If you are looking for a smaller, well broke, youth horse-- take a look at Pixie. A 16 y/o, paint, quarter horse/ pony cross that we raised on the ranch and broke as a 2 y/o. Pixie has been used for ranch work and coon hunting. She is very athletic and has a lot of speed. Well broke and very responsive. Probably not for a beginner though as she is a mover, and loves to go. Ridden mostly by adults but a youth that can ride should get along fine.
