To care for your horse you will need at least the following:

2 x feed buckets

2 x water buckets

2 x haynets

feed bins (to keep rats out)

feed

Chaff

hay/ haylage

Bedding

wheelbarrow

muck fork

scoop for field

Rain rug/ lightweight

Sweat rug

Winter/ heavyweight rug

Fly rug

Fly mask

Hi-viz gear for you and horse

Whip

Hat

Boots

Body protector

Gloves

Jodhpurs

Travel bandages/ boots

Fly spray

Grooming kit - essentials: body brush, curry comb, hoofpick

first aid kit - essentials: wound cream/ powder, bandages, scissors, arnica

Tack (unless comes with the horse)

Tack cleaner

Cabinet/ container to put everything (preferably lockable)

Registration with local equine vet

Notice for tack room on who to contact in case of emergency, vet number, insurance details, next of kin, important info about the horse etc

Books on horse care and riding etc

If you're unsure about anything, I'd advise you to visit the local riding school/ center and see if you can pick up some volunteer work, or perhaps even loan a horse from them? This way you can gain experience before making the leap into ownership. Believe me, it's a big responsibility and a HUGE learning curve when you get your first horse, even if you've ridden for a long time.
