Horse Buying Guide
Buying a horse can be very exciting. Unfortunately most folks that are new to buying a horse become so excited at the prospect that they make some very big mistakes. This article will give you some tips you can use to ensure your horse buying goes smoothly.
The first step is to determine what sort of horse you are looking for. Do you want to breed from this horse, compete or just have it for a nice bit of hacking and arena work? One of the most common mistakes first time horse buyers make, is that they do not know what they want and end up getting a hot-headed racing horse instead of a bomb-proof all-rounder.
You can find your new horse in a multitude of venues. You can easily find them at riding schools, livery yards, and from private breeders. Markets can be a cheap way to buy a horse but can be risky as you do not get to spend much time with the horse before you have to make a decision.
Don’t be afraid to ask a more experienced friend or professional trainer how to buy a horse. They will give you an objective view on the horse and make sure that you are not being scammed in any way.
Once you have found a horse that looks promising, there are a number of things you must do before any money is being exchanged. Ask about the background of the horse – a history of several owners often suggests a problem with the horse. You should also ask to see the appropriate documents outlining the breed, date of birth and other information.
Always have a veterinarian check out the horse you intend on buying before making your purchase. Although having a vet come and do a checkup will cost you money, it could save you thousands down the line.
Most buyers will let you take the horse home for a week or more so that you can make a good decision. By doing this, you will get to know the horse properly and to make sure ‘it does what it says on the tin’.
Once you’ve finally chosen a horse to buy, you will need to do some price bargaining. Equipment such as saddles, horse blankets, and horse shoes may come free with the horse.
