Where to buy a horse from?

Where do y'all suggest getting a horse from. I have been asked this before and the horses that I have gotten have sort of fallen into my lap.
The man who asked me wants a good strong horse for his family and my only suggestino was to go to the riding center intown and ask there. Any suggestions anyone?

I know that many look online and also in local newspapers. My uncle had his fall into his lap as well when a coworker was moving and could not take the horse along to the new location.

Sometimes at county fairs during the summer you can find horses for sale. If there are none there you can definitely ask and they will point you in the right direction.

When you buy a horse do you stipulate a vet visit? I've always wondered about that when buying a large animal.

I would personally yes. There are certain things that count for a lot such as how well you click with the horse, but I would not want to buy a horse that was very sick and bound to cost me thousands a month throughout it's life. As much as I would love to help a horse like that, I don't have that kind of cash.
