Buying a Horse
The spring is a time of year when many people set out on the task of buying a horse. There are a lot of things to consider when looking for a horse and it is extremely important that you take the right steps in finding it because horses tend to be long term investments.

To begin with make sure you’ve identified your current level of riding, goals, exact discipline, and price range. Having a trainer to discuss your ideas with can be a great tool as they might have a more clear vision of your abilities and they can help you to set realistic goals.

Once you’re clear on exactly what your searching guidelines are the process of finding the right horse will become much easier and the chances of success much higher.

Happy Hunting

Site Manager - Mara Hi, I'm Mara. I hold several equine business related degrees and have earned numerous national awards for riding. I've been seriously involved with horses my entire life and have ridden with many locally and nationally known horse professionals. I've also worked as a working student for hunter/jumper trainers Tammy Provost-Vitello and Wendy Newby, primarily as a rider and instructor. I've worked extensively with event, jumper and dressage trainer Jerry Schurink.

My love for horses is genuine and my desire to share that passion with others is the chief reason I'm working on this site. Be sure to check out my blog for more about my experiences with horses as well as my videos here on the site.
