UPDATED:Im getting my OWN horse

[buttercup132]

Hopefully. If I get this job Im applying for then I will have enough to board and then lots still left over. And the place I would be boarding at the girl can give me lessons and we can go to shows!!!
The board there is really cheap, only a hundred and something a month!
Of course I will try to adopt. Ive found these guys so far on a site that rescues.

She is who I want the most. My dream is to own a Arab and with the Winter here they always reduce ther prices. She is sound and seems good and is dirt cheap!

I really like this girl too. Her colour is amazing!!
She is just too cute. Again dirt cheap and sound

That's super! It says that Shasta may have soreness in her back though - might wanna look into that, if you buy her.

Other than that, they're all beautiful!

Cool, hope you get the horse you want!

If I get this job I'm applying for it will pay 3 something every 2 weeks, plus I will have my money from the groomers but thats only like 60 a pay check. But when I have holidays like chistmas break I will work there full time and the new job after school hours. Each pay check will be 3-4 hundred something each every 2 weeks.

So I think I could easily afford a horse now if I get the job. Fingers crossed!!

Kansa and Shasta both have lameness issues.
If you are going to buy a horse that has soundness or soreness issues you have to be prepared to spend lots of $$, vet care isn't cheap. My moms horse coliced a few years ago and had to have surgury that was $8,000. Also, with some (or most) horse adoption agencys you do not own the horse for the first year or so. There is lots of restrictions about what you can and can't do with the horse. If they find out that the you aren't following the contract there will be some major fines.

What is it you are looking to do with a horse? What discipline? What is your budget? Do you prefer a mare or gelding? What age? What height? What training level? Is breed important to you? Where are you located? What are you going to do with the horse in the winter? Can you afford vet care, farrier, board, lessons, show fees, blankets, tack etc...?
If you anwser those questions I can look around for you.

I'm looking to do trails, pleasure English riding, jumping, showing
age dosent matter
hight at least 15 hh Ive always had horses that I look 10x too big for.
Training level?
I would like a Arabian but it dosent have to be, I also really want a white or Dapply Grey horse.
Im located in Ontario Canada , Burlington area
Ill ride in the winter still.
Yes I can afford vet care I have blankets and tack already
I dont really need lessons and I can afford board
And the farrier here is pretty cheap too.

I like this one. http://www.heavencanwaitequinerescue...nowflake2.html

I also like Jupiter. IMHO, any horse that may have a leg injury shouldn't be jumping. But congrats! It's a big step to take, getting your own horse. It's tons of fun.

That sounds great Alicia, I am so jealous!

When finding the right height of horse, your feet should be no lower than the horse's belly and no higher than three inches below the bottom of the saddle flap. I know that arabs are not generally very large and have quite a thin frame so you may find you need something a little larger and bulkier, not sure how tall you are though. Another thing I was taught is that if you can rest your chin on a horse's back without bending down or standing on tiptoes, it's the right height for you

I put up a ad on equine connect last night and have 2 replies already but for lease or part board. Some lady said I could ride for free in exchange for grooming her horses. What a deal!!!

I still plan on getting my own but thats when i get another job wich I dont have yet.
