I wouldn't even bother with showing prospects. Look for horses under, oh, 15 years old, that already have some points. Ideally they would have a higher PT score and be consistent, but lower PT, and inconsistent have value as well depending on their all time points (do a search for Horses for sale>All time points). Great Show Horse Herd helpers are always a good bet, and so are perfect foundations. After you start getting some show bonus money, then you might start investing in showing prospects, and keeping some of your home bred foals for show, but give yourself that extra financial boost by sticking to the proven show horses for a while.

I just do a search for all horses for sale under the age of 15 and sort them by all time points. I try to buy anything over 150 points, but preferably over 250. I'm not horribly concerned with how old vs how many points, but I have the barn space to put them in.
