contact the american paint horse association. they probably have breeder lists/referrals on their website. here it is http://www.aphaonline.com/ click on market place, then horses for sale. shows by region, so click the southeast. looks like only one in your area at the moment. so instead go to marketplace, then on right side is breeders and trainers directory, you can either order a free copy, or view it online and contact some breeders and trainers. they should be able to help you out a ton!

I'm sorry I don't want to discourage you but I want you to be very happy with your choice. Keep posting the links and I will try to not put them all down. I sound so negative and I am sorry, I just want your horse to be the best thing that ever happened to you. I want you to enjoy him and love him, not have to battle day to day.

I have read the posts and can vouche for the fact that yuckaduck was in no way trying to discourage you. I hadnt read all of them untill just now, I would have said the same things she said if I had read them all. Theres no arguing that picking a good horse is as difficult and time consuming, and takes as much research as buying the right puppy. In some ways it can even be harder.
personally I would recommend that if you go through newspapers, or anyone else for that matter, have your aunt and/or your father look at them closely, and if possible have a vet check them out before purchasing.
and you better keep us posted, and put some pictures on here when you get one.

Now that i look back at the post, I really don't think Yucka was being rude in anyway but trying to help me, and I think u o much for helping me Yucka..b/c I didn't even see that 1 horse was sold and the other 1 wasn't even able to ride yet.
But there has been a change of plans as far as what age of horse I'm getting. I'm getting a colt!! I was talking to my dad and he was tlling me about a colt he had when he was about 14-15 and it followed him everywhere and when it was older it was the best horse ever!! So now I'm looking at Paint and Quarter horse colts. I'll post links in a little bit, look back sometime in about 1 hour and I'll have about a million links down...LOL. Thanks for helping me Yucka and stirder!

What makes you think Monty Roberts is a fraud?

Have you read his books? Those were wild mustangs that were being rounded up and auctioned off. He had to get on a waiting list for that experiment. I've never gotten that impression from him but you never know. Anything is possible, unfortunately.
He clearly stated several times that they were going out to round up a wild horse not one already caught and going to break it from scratch. A horse that had never ever had human contact. Like I said funny how it got shoes and a saddle mark. Never know maybe I am way off base but like I said it is my personnal opinion and and based on what I have seen and heard of him, I would much rather follow John Lyons method. He takes the time to show it step for step and he clearly states that it is a horse who he has been working with at the clinics, no decieveing the truth. I just get my fur up abit at Monty lying like that. I figure if he has to lie about that then what else is he hiding. Maybe I am totally wrong, don't know but that is my feelings. I am not belittleing anyone elses opinions if you like that's fine.
Hmm, that's a little weird because I read Shy Boy which is all about the mustang and he had to get on a waiting list to get him when they were rounding up wild horses and adopting them (auctioning?) them out. Not that that really explains anything. I don't know. I really enjoyed his books. But I don't follow him or John Lyons or anyone really. Just had a lot of people who've influenced me. And courses. Actually, I took a TTEAM course and really liked that. Have you ever followed it?
