yes but you should also ride it to bond with it!
The cost of getting your first horse can vary widely depending on factors such as breed, age, training, and geographic location. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars to purchase a horse. In addition to the initial purchase price, you should also budget for ongoing expenses such as boarding, feed, veterinary care, and equipment.
It means that you lease a particular horse in a stable where you go riding . That means only you and the staff ride or exercise the horse. Your lease should cover feed, cleaning and Vet care , and that you are not responsible for any care unless you cause an injury to the horse while only YOU are riding it. It should also state you have unlimited riding time , and saddles and tack are provided by the facility. Get this in writing, and if you are under age, have a parent have the lease checked for loopholes so you are not responsible for something unexpectedly. It you are not 18, you can not legally sign a binding lease by yourself anyway.
you ride a minichre horse like someone would ride any other horse
There is no certain breed of horse that would be ideal for a first time horse owner. The best type of horse a first time buyer should look for is one that has some experience, is tempermental and easy to control and handle.
you should be looking at horses between 14hh and 15hh, depending on the horses build, and what you want it to do. i would advise that you get one of your friends/family/instructor to look at you and the horse while mounted, and assess whether you look to big/small on their back. other than that as a rough guide a horse can carry about 1/4 of is weight, this can easily be found with a weight band around the belly of the horse. i think as long as you do not look or feel actively to big/small on the horse than you should be alright. always remember safety first when riding/handling your horse and if they are to strong for you get someone more experienced in to help you.
Well, you should have enough to pay for the horse, the horse's expenses such as feed, hay, shavings, veterinary care, farrier care, worming, coggins, tack, buckets, all your supplies, boarding expenses if you don't have your own place, and a way to transport your horse! So, a lot.
Any breed can be a good first horse so long as the rider and horse get along and match each others skills.
as long as you love horses, it shouldn't matter. but be in mind that you should be finacally prepared to take care of the horse and you should have enought time to put in with the horse. You should know about the horse's needs
mesure your horse first
Grass would be good
My first horse was an arabian named All about me and she was the best. get an arabian. There is no one 'best' breed for a first horse. In reality you shouldn't even be concerned about the breed in the beginning. You should be more concerned with if the horse is overall suitable for you and your goals, things like breed should be considered last.
Once a month unless you need it done before a show. :]Horses don't realy need to be clipped. if your horse is a show horse the horse must be clipped weekly, or when ever you see whisker, or long hair growth. an average horse, meaning outside, trail rides, or like a pasture horse, doesn't need to be clipped, but if you like you can. unless you are proffesional, you should not clip a horse for the first time on your own. make sure you have assistance from someone who knows what they are doing. h
3 months
It depends on the horse. Your horse should know when to take off, so if your horse is already trained, don't worry about it, and even if you are trying to train a horse, just see how he/she jumps on their own first.
I think you mean foundie - either Newfoundland ponies or foundation horses - someone's first horse, a horse of which parents are gaia and ouranos
you walk your horse a couple laps and bend down and feel under the horses chest if u cnt reach have someone else do it but the horse should feel hot and sweety if the horse does keep walking him
No because it gets spooked or bolted you are going to be the first thing it hits. You should lead a horse from the near (left) side.
