yes but you should also ride it to bond with it!
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.
Well when you first ride your new horse you want to just get a feel for how the horse reins and how he or she reacts to your leg and hand signals. Your horse may have been trained differently then you, and you should just get the feel of him or her the first time you ride. Hopefully you have not bought the horse yet and you are just trying him or her out at the breeders, but if you have bought him of or her already, that is OK too.
you ride a minichre horse like someone would ride any other horse
A prospect horse is a horse that someone would think would be good at. Like if someone bought a jumper prospect, the horse wouldn't have any experience, but the owner thought he would be good at it.
It is a good idea not to shout and scare the horse but on the other hand it is also a good idea to talk so the horse can hear you. Think how you would react if someone suddenly appeared behind you. So talk loud enough to be heard.
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
I think you mean foundie - either Newfoundland ponies or foundation horses - someone's first horse, a horse of which parents are gaia and ouranos
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.

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.
