As you may know, I've had only ponies under 14hh my whole life. I've ridden different horses, but only owned ponies because they just suit me really well size-wise, (I'm 5 feet tall and don't even break 100lbs...)
The 2 ponies I have now are Star and Specs, and I absolutely adore them. Star is a Shetland (don't worry, I don't actually ride her, lol!) and Specs is a just barely considered a pony at exactly 14hh...
Back to the topic, I just really feel like I would have fun adding a big horse to the mix... Is it bad for me to want what I don't have? I also don't want to devote all my riding time to a horse, when I barely have enough time for the two that I have.
Another concern that I have is about the money. My parents aren't opposed to me getting another horse, but they are trying to teach me the value of a dollar, so if I want this new horse, I have to pay for it all myself. Not to say a number, but I'm too young to get a job legally so there's no way I'm going to be able to buy a $2000 horse.. More like under $800 if I'm lucky. And if I'm correct, that'll buy me a green unregistered 4 year old, and that could be a potential disaster. And leasing wouldn't work out given that I don't go to an actual riding barn, I have my horses at home... *oyy*
I just don't know. Should I go for it? Is it bad that I want a different horse? I'd like some advice...
Thankyou.
