Wow, ignore the people saying 1-2 year old, if its a first horse you no way have the experience to raise up a youngster. 8-10 would be a good age. I wouldn't go much younger than seven. Horses routinely live well into their twenties these days, so don't be afraid to go for an older horse if you find one that suits you. I would say that one past 16 or so will not be able to do hard work on a regular basis though. So basically, between 7-16, older if you just want a quiet hack.

I would look at atleast 6 years old. The highest age, maybe 17 or 18. Every horse is different. Some may be broken and calm at four, while others might be spirited. It all depends on the horse. Since it’s your first horse you should make sure the horse is beginner friendly and has a temperament under 3. Don’t get anything too young like 2 or three because you will have to break it in yourself and that is extremely hard. When buying a horse always ask if you can try out the horse for atleast two weeks before you buy it. This basically means you take it home or to the barn you board at and see how he does. Does he seem spooked even after two weeks? Does he not ride like you want? These are all things to consider. Some owners who are selling the horse will drug it so it seems calm, but isn’t really. I’ve had this happen to me and now we have a spirited horse that we should have taken home first before buying. Also, get a vet check and check for any illnesses. You don’t want a lame horse on your hands or one that is sick. Hope I helped!

Equine.com seems to be a good and reliable source. I've noticed that on EquineNow.com there is a lot of fake ads.

I personally think equine.com is the best because it has the most horses available in my opinion. My friend prefers dreamhorse.com, however. Then there was this one more website that I can’t remember now. It sold high-quality horses, and I really enjoyed the site. If I ever recall the name, I’ll post it here.
Good luck!

For a safe horse for a beginner you really need to be looking to pay £2,500 or more. This will depend on the size and breed required. Every horse has a breed even if it is of mixed breeding. Certain breeds have more tendancy to make good or bad starter horses.
