buying horse

First time buying a horse, would like to hear some opinions... It's a unique situation. I'm going to purchase a horse I love in New York and then my fiance and I are moving to Las Vegas in ~6 months and transporting her. The owner offered to sell the horse now for 6k and I can board her at...

So, I'm sure that every horse lover has a dream.. to own a horse. I do too, and unfortunately my parents said no. Of course they did, because horses are expensive to take care of. The horse I want is for free, but if it ends up being that I don't like him, then there is another Thoroughbred...

So I've been looking at this horse to buy, and the owner says hes registered but he doesnt have the papers. He says the previous owner (owner number 2) has them but can't find them. I don't really mind not having the papers, although I kinda want them. I really just want to know his bloodlines...

Before you go and see a horse, be sure you feel right with the person you’re dealing with, whether it’s a dealer or a private owner. Ask the questions YOU want answers to. Don’t accept a fob-off, or a ’sideways’ answer for e.g. If you ask: Is he quiet in traffic? Then you want a definite...
