Hi guys!
I have recently been looking into buying a horse because I have been riding since I was really young and have done pony club, loaning and have worked on a few different yards and now I feel I can take on the responsibility of a horse.
What I want to know is what you guys think are the things to look out for when going to view a horse for the first time. E.g. what questions to ask and certain things to look for in the horse or maybe even the seller?
I have a good amount of knowledge on when it comes to actually owning a horse but picking the right one is also very important.
I also don't have anyone I could bring with me for example an instructor or horsey friend because they are all a lot younger than me and seem to have others do all the dirty work, if you get what I mean. They have a lot of money.
So what are the things I should look out for? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks x
