This is a huge commitment that you are about to make and some well spent money on an expert opinion on the suitability health and fitness of a horse is worth it every time.
If the horse is registered, there is a certain amount of information within this paper work that is invaluable. Discuss the horse’s history with the owner, look into the breeding. This information should be shared with you willingly. Communication and negotiations do need to be easy and open, if they are not; it’s probably not the right horse for you so it's best to search for other horses for sale in Australia.
When you arrive at a property to view a horse, take your time, ask that when you arrive it is left in the paddock, watch the owner catch the horse, and tack, how does it behave on the ground? Let them ride the horse first so that you can see how it responds. If you are comfortable with what you have seen you can make the decision there whether you want to ride the horse. If the negotiations have been open with the seller you will have a better chance of being able to judge if this horse is suitable for your needs.
