buying a horse is a truly stupid thing to do. it is a 1,000 + pound animal that will require hay, oats, water, access to shelter and pasture grazing every fucking day.  regular visits by a farrier to replace the horses shoes and visits from a large animal veterinarian on occasion.  unless you have a very large pasture you will have to manage horse manure unless you want the area you keep your horse in to stay literally covered in black flies.  horse ownership is a money pit and massive time sink. the fucking horse will live for 25 years also.   no one will buy the fucking horse you get for your preteen daughter after she gets tired of in next year.  beautiful 3 year old off the track thoroughbreds come onto the market every season.
