Horses take a TON of responsibility, work, care, and money$$$. Every day, you have to feed, groom, exercise, and muck out the horse's stall. You have to muck out the stall twice a day in the summer, because of insects/parasites. You have to clean the horse's tack, grooming supplies, blankets, and all supplies. You have to have vet checks, and a farrier to take care of your horse's hooves. You ALWAYS have to put the horse's needs over yours, and its NOT just riding. You should spend much more time caring/spending time with your horse than riding. A horse has emotions and needs, and you can't just get on, ride around, and throw the horse back into the stall. Take a ton of riding lessons first and learn a BUNCH about horse care before purchasing/adopting a horse.

∙ 15y agoYou keep a horse heathy by taking care of them, as the same for us! Every day you need to feed your horse and give them fresh, clean water. Also, you should ride your horse every day to keep it in perfect shape. Just like us you should bath your horse and brush it constantly, especially after riding them. If your horse does not look in good shape, refuses to ride(make sure they aren't stubborn!), and will NOT eat, bring it to a vet. the same goes for if your horse has any other diseise or infection. But most importantly, you NEED to give your horse love and attention. If you do not pay much attention, your horse will feel denied and will become depressed...which is bad. I hope this helps you out a bit, but if not, you can look up on some research. :)

∙ 13y agoOK. It takes more than just loving a horse to take care of it, and putting it in a stall.... You have to feed it grain and hay twice a day, and clean stalls, and exercise them daily. But it's all a reward in the end!
you can buy food from horse food stores.

∙ 13y agoGeneral care for every horse is the same, you will need to provide fresh water 24/7, good quality hay free from molds and dust. You will need to ensure that the horse has a safe place to run with a shelter to get away from the elements (or you can go and get him and bring him to the barn when its bad outside). You will need to get his hooves trimmed, teeth floated, dewormed and vaccinated on a regular basis. A clean,dry stall. On a daily basis you will need to groom him/her and give him lots of care, love and your patience.
