Buying a Horse

Have a vet evaluate your prospect for soundness before purchasing.

Pay attention to the horse's attitude and disposition.

Choose your discipline and objective, and stick with it.

Choose a breed you prefer, but be willing to look at other breeds for comparison.

Set a price range.

Set an age limit, but be open to a span of five years around that age.

Figure out ahead of time what questions you want to ask the seller.

Choose a horse with good, quiet ground manners.

Choose a horse you can develop a relationship with.

Decide what perfect-horse aspects you can sacrifice in order to meet your budget.
