You're going to need a first-aid kit of some sort, and don't forget the cost of a farrier every 6 to 8 weeks.
Are you currently riding this horse in the saddle you already own? If not, it might not fit properly, so you might need to consider the cost of a new saddle in there, too.
Thanks
No, i'm not currently riding said horse, and I understand about the saddle thing, if my saddle doesn't fit properly, i'll sell it for the price i bought it for and get a better fitting one!
You don't say what your actual experience with horses is so I might add to the list. Many riding lessons and horsemanship lessons. Taking care of horses is not rocket science but there is some knowledge needed. Will you be keeping your horse at home or will you be boarding him/her?
I've been around horses my entire life. I used to ride a LOT when I was little, but I had to move to the city and lost touch with it all.
I'm moving to Georgia soon and I'll have an acre and a half, so I plan to keep my horse with me
I volunteered at a stable for about a year and a half and I learned a lot about horse care. How to pic the hooves, properly groom, how to tack up, blanketing, lunging, leading, etcetc.
That stable was also a place for handicapped kids to learn how to ride (as a form of therapy), and learn how to care for the animals. I helped teach riding lessons and horse care, also.
