Hi, welcome to HorseHobbyist!

Congrats on getting your first horse. What kind of riding experience do you and your daughter have? I think that is key to how a first horse experience will work out. When I moved to the country in 1989 I wanted to get a horse right away, but realized that the best thing to do was to take riding lessons and get a horse later, when I was more adept. The horse you want when you're just learning to ride is not the horse you want when you've figured things out.

On the other hand, for all I know you and your daughter can ride like the wind.
