We can't answer that. It is up to you but they are wonderful animals and are amazing to own. I suggest you look at a few things first. Consider these first-

  • Can you ride well?
  • Have you had pets before?
  • Are you willing to contribute the time necessary?
  • Will you be able to get help?
  • Have you been around horses before?
  • Are you conferable around horses?
  • Do you know things about taking care of horses?
  • Do you LOVE horses?

Also look further into it. You need to also know some of the responsibilities-

  • You need a stable for the horse to stay in.
  • They need lots of room to run and play
  • They need constant exercise
  • Your going to need help
  • They are expensive. The horse, not so much really. But vet bills, stabling, food, etc.
  • Horses are LOTS of work. Your going to need lots of time

Know that is takes time and patients to get a bond with your horse. If you don't LOVE horses, to the point were you can't have a conversation with someone without saying something that has to do with horses, this may not be the pet for you.

And PLEASE look further into it. It is a HUGE responsibility owning a horse, and you need a lot of time and responsibility. If you're in school and homework takes over 3 hours to complete, talk to your parents and teachers about it. This is not a 5 minute decision, this is a 5 month decision. Get all the info you can. Talk to vets, riding instructers, other horse owners, grooms, anyone. Get more info.
