Am I experienced enough? Do I know how much a horse costs- annually? Do I know anywhere I can board my horse? What are some common horse illnesses? Am I willing to care for my horse daily? Do I want a horse to ride or just care for? How tall do I want my horse to be? Do I have a favorite breed?- research the breed you wish to own Is there a certain color I want?
check your tack. check yourself, check your horse and others around you.
Pretend it is just practice. Talk to your horse. It'll calm you and the horse down..

You should have a good coach or mentor who has experience in this area, otherwise you are risking harm to yourself as well as the horse.
You should ask yourself that, not anyone else on here who has no idea of who you are, how experienced you are, what you know and what you can put into practice, etc. Can you stay on if the horse starts acting up under you? Can you train a horse to better accept the saddle and bridle and work with him to listen to you and to obey you? Can you even handle a green horse? Do you know how to ride, or, how many years of experience riding horses do you have under your belt? Have you dealt with green horses before? All these questions are important to ask yourself before you think you are ready to buy any green horse.
To influence any parent to buy you a horse you must show them that you are capable of caring for that animal yourself. You should know at least basic horse care and how to handle the expense of ownership. If you lack these skills you should start by going to a lesson stable and learning about horses and their care as much as possible before buying one.
befor it
IDK... you should probably travel 200 km by horse yourself and then see how long it takes you
In terms of safety, you put yourself first. In terms of care, you put the horse first. Like, if you are in immediate danger, you should worry more about getting yourself out of harms way than your horse. However, if you just finished riding and are tired and hungry and just want to go home, you still need to cool of your horse and care for it before going home to eat and sleep.

You should ALWAYS be careful with horses.
This is up to you. You should find out what the horse will and will not be able to do with the club foot. You should also learn about what special things he will require because of his foot, and ask yourself if you are prepared to handle it.
