How do I buy a horse? A trained, not necessarily polished, reliable, not-fancy h - Old Barn Stories
| How do I buy a horse? A trained, not necessarily polished, reliable, not-fancy h ...for a 16 year old capable rider. The rider is capable though not professional. Has little interest in showing, but lots of interest in the horse, at least as much as the ride. When I look at ads, the risks of being "taken" loom large. The 16 year old will become attached immediately and there's no going back. Also, of course, how to find a suitable barn to board, though that is less difficult to plan out how to do. Any ideas, suggestions, stories, etc. will be welcome. And I know there are things like have a vet see it, and all that. Books? |
| I am a horseback riding enthusiast and I started riding a horse when I was 10 years old. At first, I just had horseback riding at the old barn of my grandfather. It was really a great experience. In fact, I did it regularly as a sort of exercise. When I was able to buy another breed of horse, I decided to renovate the old barn and made a good stable for my horses. What a great fun. |
| Hi there. Thanks for sharing your stories in here. I must say that I am starting to think of having a good horse, not for myself but for my son. If my observation serves me right I think he is starting to like horses and that would be fine for me if he would be inclined into riding them. Anyway, thanks for sharing in here and good day to all. |
| Maybe you could find a suitable barn first, with people you trust, as they will be the main ones caring for the horse, and from there, they might help you find a good horse to purchase. They should know their horses or they would not be worth your time to put your horse there to stable. They may also pick a good one because they know it'll be in their care. |
| It is part of being a child to have old barn stories especially when they are from rural areas. I grew up from a province and I can say that I had the best childhood experiences in our barn. My friends and I would usually play hide and seek inside it. My father also used it as storage for the things that we don't use anymore. I hope that sometime I can go visit the barn that have become a big part of my life. |
