, I have owned horses for over 18 years. When I first purchase a new horse,
and bring him to his new home I would let him/her get adjusted to their new surroundings for a day or two. Remember you have to get acquainted with your new horse also. When I moved my first horse to a different barn, I had owned him for over 8 years and knew him well, I put on his saddle and took him on a tour of his new home.
It all depends on the horse, and your riding skills. Enjoy !!
he should understand whos the boss p.s. its you
Usually the horse should be lounged before riding. For a horse that gets a little 'bucky' when you first start to ride this is a safe solution. Unless you use lounging as a cool-down I don't see the benefit of exercising a tired horse.

A horse with a rider on should not have an issue with any neignboring horse if trained correctly. This would be a bigger problem if paddocks are shared, but while riding the horse is to be compliant with the rider.Regular riding of your horse with you in strict control should build this bond.
It is not necessary.
If you re doing work with the horse that requires him to use alot of energy for a large amount of time then yes maybe. It depends though on the weight of your horse already and what you horses temperment is like. Always remember if you are going to feed before riding, feed at least an hour before.
A model riding horse is usually a temperamental family type of horse. A paint, pinto, palomino etc is usually good but you should always learn about a horses personality before riding it.
Leasing out your first horse right after acquiring it may not be the best idea. It is important for you to bond with and establish a strong relationship with your horse first before considering leasing it out. Additionally, caring for and riding your horse will help you better understand its needs and behavior.
Being a good rider does not determine what kind of horse to get, owning a horse and riding a horse are two very different things. You need to be able to control the horse from the ground as well as from the saddle. Do your research, and get to know the horse you want to buy before taking him home.
Do you mean "what position should your feet be in when riding a horse?" If so then this is the answer: you should have your heels down and knees bent with your feet right beside the girth.
A flash light, horse feed, helmet, and horse tack.
well before you ride you must know how your horse reacts to different things but you should at least werar a helmet
