If you decide to contact a seller ask questions; in fact, ask a lot of questions. If you're not comfortable with the answers, walk away.
Research the seller as well as the horse. It's nice to know if you're dealing with someone with a good reputation.
Go see the horse. Make sure someone else will be riding the horse for you to observe before you ride. Never get on a horse before you have seen someone else ride him. And if you're uncomfortable after seeing it ridden do not be pressured into riding the horse.
If you decide to continue towards buying a horse have a veterinarian of YOUR choice perform a pre-purchase exam.
Do not be pressured into a quick sale. This is a big decision. Safe and sound for your intended use is the name of the game, everything else is just icing on the cake!
