I wouldn’t buy or full loan a horse as it’s a lot of money and a lot of commitment especially as you will be in college and you may want to go to uni! I would part loan/share as you can do your own thing with the horse for not nearly as much money or time! You would ride 1-3 times a week as well...

So.. I’ve been riding for a while and my riding instructor says we are going to start jumping soon, I don’t know how long soon means but anyway I thought I would ask on here... What sort of things do instructors look for before starting to teach people to jump and how do they know when they...

If you mean you haven’t ridden in 4 years I would definitely get lessons for a few months and maybe help out at the yard on weekends? (I help out and get a free lesson) once you can comfortably ride and you feel confident in walk, trot and canter start looking for part loans BUT DONT stop...

They are only a 5 minute drive and I would walk if I could but it’s so dangerous as there’s no where to walk and cars go stupidly fast. I never thought of biking, thanks for the help!! That might actually work!

I’m a 15 year old, who is wanting to get a full loan. Everything is good apart from the fact that my mum and dad aren’t horsey, and really don’t like horses! Money isn’t an issue the only issue is the transport to and from wherever the horse is kept or where I chose to keep it. I live in a...
