do any of you know were i can get a reasonably cheap first horse suitible for a 50 50 share, that wouldnt mind staying indoors?oh and more than 14 hz. Soiphy and many other projects 045.JPG

Some horses are cheap for a reason but due to this recession there are genuine horses being sold slightly cheaper.

First horses are usually confidence givers & are worth there weight in gold.

Why would you want to keep a horse indoors/stabled ??

Horses are much healthier being turned out not cooped up stabled, unless of course they were being box rested due to injury.

Your request sounds pretty strange.

Can you elaborate yourself a bit better ??

its because the only stable in my/our area, sadly, dose not have that much land,not enough for grazing but we do lead them to the grass and let them eat, and soak up the sun (if there is any).I agree that they should be turned out but the recession is the cause of the lack of land. Also there are 2 retired horses, one has a skin condition and the other is 36 (they cant go out)! besides none of them are under 15 years, and they all are aloud to wander in the VERY large school (with haynets of course).

I'm sorry but if you don't have enough land for a horse then you shouldn't have a horse.
Recession has nothing to do with the lack of land.

How is the horse to get exercise ?? Walking along the grass verge is not good enough !

I'm sorry but is this a wind up ??

I am having your posts very peculiar.

the horses are run lunged and riden, they are healthy and happy, I dont own the stables I just care for the horses and ride, they had to sell land to keep horses, it is now surounded by a housing estate and they have managed to save one small pach, not big enough for proper turning out. they are happy being put on a lead rope and grazeing next to each other ,like I said i wish the land were still there, but to be honest my fave pony, bonnie is shy of other horses and with just being lunged, run and grazed by herself she is much happier
and less tense, she is a funny pony but she was a rescue pony and was in quarantine without her mother(mum died of starvation and other infections few hours after rescue) from when was very young. me and my freind want to get our own horse and we are looking into renting a field from near by(I didnt put that down because we have been given a maby from the owner) because some freinds that are putting up there horses there rent a field in the summer. ok.

Like i have said ALL horses need turnout not just being lunged & rideen.
Being taken along a grass verge is not good enough.

Until you know whether you are actually going to rent a field i would put off getting a horse yet as them conditions you are not suitable for any horse.

ok, i'll look into it, um do you know what a good price for field rent is? I'm paying for the horse with the money left by my grandma and the house sale money, so limited suppli and I don't want to pay too much.

and its not a grass verge its a very small field like i said, not enough room for proper turn out. Grrrrr

"So that said, dont be afraid to post, even if not everyone agrees" quoted from clair7435 I just want my dream of having that stunning animal to look after, many others own horses without turn out an the recesion has ALOT to do with lack of land its this little thing that britten would crawl across hot coles on its belly for (figritively) it MONEY, and the horses owned by the people in trouble have to go somewhere, if without land. just, exept it its one of thoughs things that is debatable i dont agree or disagree with it, ask me what i think i'd probebly say they should still be wild.

I have never known any horse to go without turnout due to the recession.

Tbh i think it's damn cruel to own horse & not give it 'proper' turnout.

Depending where in the country you are all depends on what field rentals are.
Will this field come with water ? Does it have a shelter ? Has it got good fencing ?
Fields depending on what is being offered can start as little as £15 per week upwards.
