Assessing Advertisements Talking to Sellers Health Information Viewing a Horse Most people own and ride horses as a hobby. A hobby is important to have in life as it is something that you do for fun and interest. It helps create the balance in life as you juggle life's responsibilities and commitments. With most hobbies the stakes are zero, you don't need to succeed, and it is just something you enjoy doing. That might be so for knitting, photography, painting, cycling etc. With horse ownership there is a lot at stake. Horses are expensive to keep, they can get injured or unwell, and live for many years. Also, if you don't have an element of success in the partnership with a horse, it can be dangerous and have welfare ramifications for the horse and the human. There is so much at stake with horses and when things don't go well it can be emotionally and financially stressful. Therefore, buying a new horse is a significant purchase in your life. It can lead to fun and enjoyment or do the complete opposite. This guide also wishes to emphasise that horse shopping can be fun and needs to be enjoyed to its full extent! It is something that you need to take your time with, not rush. Setting yourself up with the right horse is integral to having a fun, fulfilling life with horses. |
