You need to be prepared for boarding fees or hay and sawdust, grain, tack, veterinary and farrier expenses, barn supplies, and riding apparel. These are just some of the basic expenses, but there are extras like lessons, training, supplements, bodywork like massage therapy, and much more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Buying the wrong horse:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Finding the perfect match can be very difficult. It\u2019s strongly recommended you work with a trusted instructor to buy your first horse. They should know your riding capabilities and can evaluate the horse for you. Many first-timers get caught up in color, breed, and age. If you\u2019re new to riding, then you definitely don\u2019t want a green or spirited horse. A calm, dependable one that can show you the ropes is more appropriate.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Skipping the vet check:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yes, it\u2019s another expense, but a necessary one! A pre-purchase exam will evaluate the horse and uncover potential issues. Some of these discoveries may make you pass on a horse, while others won\u2019t be a big deal. These exams give you a clear picture of what you\u2019re buying.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Not having enough experience:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There\u2019s a lot that goes into horse ownership. From nutrition and hoof care to exercise and a safe environment, you\u2019ll need to be ready for it all. Boarding at a facility that offers full care can be helpful in the beginning, but you\u2019ll still need some basic knowledge. Spending lots of time at the barn and helping out will prepare you for horse ownership.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Neglecting safety:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t become a rider that gets sloppy or lazy. You should always wear an ASTM\/SEI-certified helmet, proper footwear, and attire. When handling horses, remember basic safety when leading, tying, etc. You don\u2019t want to jeopardize you or your horse\u2019s safety.<\/span><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37628\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-2.png\" alt=\"10 Mistakes Beginner Horse Owners Make\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-2.png 1200w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-2-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-2-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-2-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-2-560x293.png 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-2-160x84.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Setting unrealistic goals:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Try to enjoy the process of learning. Everyone starts off as a beginner! Some equestrians skip steps or rush into things because they\u2019re so eager to get to the top. Ultimately, they risk their safety and their horse\u2019s.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Acting like a know-it-all:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There\u2019s always room to improve and learn something new, no matter how long you\u2019ve been in the industry. Be a sponge and soak up advice from trainers, equine professionals, and barn friends.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Not having enough time:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Horse ownership is a big time commitment, especially if you keep them at home.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Not understanding horse behavior:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Horses communicate through body language. It\u2019s your responsibility to learn it! You\u2019ll need to study their behavior and how they interact with each other. This will improve your relationship with them too.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Spoiling them:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> First-time owners need to establish boundaries and respect with their horses. A trainer or instructor can help you with this! For example: it may be funny when your horse rubs their head on you, but that can get out of hand quickly. Horses need to be treated like the powerful animals that they are.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:3px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot to horse ownership, but when you\u2019re a true horse lover it\u2019s all worth it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37626\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-1.png\" alt=\"10 Mistakes Beginner Horse Owners Make\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-1-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-1-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-1-560x293.png 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/YHF-Blog-Post-041123-1-160x84.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Love this blog post?<\/strong> We think you may enjoy other <a href=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/tag\/finance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">equestrian finance blog posts<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owning a horse is a wonderful adventure!
