Buying a Horse

If you are in the market for a horse, there are many things for you to consider before you make the final decision on which horse you take home. Above all, invest the necessary time to become familiar with all aspects of choosing and buying a horse. Begin by reading this bulletin carefully several times. Being in a hurry is one of the most common pitfalls of horse buying. It can give way to enthusiastic and impulsive but often unwise buying.

Another common error made during horse purchases is pairing a green horse with a green rider. Parents sometimes buy a young horse for a young rider thinking they can grow up and learn together. Nothing could be further from the truth.

A novice needs a well-seasoned, dependable mount. Often, a beautiful, spirited, but untrained horse may catch your fancy, and it may be difficult to look at other less flashy prospects with objectivity. It is best, however, to follow your head rather than your heart when choosing your first horse. Although you may end up with an older and plainer (but perhaps wiser) horse than you originally dreamed of, the pleasant and safe riding will result in a positive experience. Later, when you are more familiar with training principles, you may be ready to progress to a less trained, more spirited horse.

When buying, it is wise to ask for, and pay for, professional advice—and then listen to it! When your instructor or veterinarian cautions you about a horse, it is for a reason. Conversely, if you are given the go-ahead to buy and then you get cold feet, you may not find as good a horse again. When procuring advice, it is best to use the view of an objective professional rather than the enthusiastic recommendation of an equally inexperienced friend. Hire a professional who has no vested interest in the horse sale.

Stay focused. Keep in mind that you are selecting a horse for a particular reason or performance event. There are many decisions and compromises lying ahead, so it helps if you set your priorities clearly at the outset.

If the overall purpose of the horse is to teach you how to ride, rather than how to win in the show ring, the selection process will emphasize different traits. If the horse is intended to be a long-term project rather than a stepping stone, you will have to invest more time, effort, and money in your purchase.

Criteria for Selection

First you must realistically determine how much you can afford to spend on a horse. Remember, the purchase price is just a drop in the bucket when considering the numerous regular costs required for proper horse care. When setting your initial purchase price
