A shop would be best, they can set it up for you. Next would be Amazon - returns are pretty easy if there's any problem. I'd put CL last of all, since it's too easy to get scammed.
Horsebows are available on Amazon as well, at fairly inexpensive prices but with decent quality. The bow limbs will of course be fibreglass, but the handle and siyahs are usually wood. I got the Magyar horsebow, which I'm extremely happy with, from a highly rated & reviewed seller called "Longbowmaker" who also has a bunch of other horsebow styles available. Although the seller is in China, Amazon usually keeps a US stock on hand. The same seller also sells a very decent quality brass thumb ring. I've heard that you get decent bows on Alibow, but I'm a bit leery about that since from what I have heard it's basically a Chinese Craigslist for bows.
If you're debating which to get first, do what I did - get both together and practice the different techniques (Mediterranean draw vs. thumb draw) together! The thumb draw is also useful on trad recurves if you ever need to use a bow of the opposite handedness from you.
As regards the thumb draw itself, and Asiatic/horsebow archery in general, ATARN is a great resource even though it doesn't seem to have been updated in a while. Here are a couple of good links on the thumb draw technique.
