Some times people will give good suggestion but you have to decide which thing is good and which is not for you. So I will refer you to visit some farms where you will find some horses.

Interesting ,this person has a website to refer to for any question??!!

Seriously ,a horse or pony is big time commitment and I think there should be a little hands on experience called for maybe???

I have 2 girls that loan one of my ponies,on my yard ,yes ,they had been to riding school ,but as for anything else-well??

Spend time getting as much experience as possible,for instance ,would you know if the horse you get was ill,needed farrier,worming ,the list goes on and on.

If you have never owned a horse before maybe you should consider loaning with a view to buy. That way you get to know the horse and whats involved before you make that commitment. Thats what I would do anyway.

First of all eek:

Second of all, if this is a genuine post, perhaps you'd like to tell us a bit about you, and your experience (if any) with horses/ponies?

Owning a horse/pony is a big commitment, both in time and money. I'd strongly recommend thinking about this decision long and hard before diving in....

I would like to think that you have enough experience to be buying a horse and that you take lessons? If you are then I would if it was me be asking my instructor if she thinks I am ready to have my own horse, also do you know enough about the overall care that a horse needs and how much it will cost? Horses cost a lot of money and that isn't just the buying part it ,is their basic needs that cost a lot..... horse owners never have any money because it always goes on their horses! I klnow because I am always skint Any one buying a horse needs to know how to look after them. Sorry if I am coming across a bit strong but I think it is something that all of us horse lovers feel......
