Answer 2

no not if your friend is not selling him

Answer 3

Buying from a friend is exactly how I got my first horse. Actually, it was quite a similar situation. She had major issues with this horse, but I could get on and ride with no issues.

If you are ready to own a horse (have everything in order like board, vet, farrier, etc.), then, by all means, go for it. You know that you can ride this horse and his temperament. Just make sure you are ready to take on all of the responsibilities that go along with horse ownership.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

If you are ready to own a horse, then I say go for it!! Good luck!

Answer 6

Buying a horse from a friend can be tricky, as competition can arise.  If you ride at different barns or are at completely different levels, I would go ahead and do it, but be aware that the "I ride him better" and "he loves me more" thing can become a problem when horses are sold between friends or competitors.

He looks like a gorgeous horse though!  I love appys and paints with english conformation.

Answer 7

If you can spend the money to buy him along with the boarding, vet, farrier, tack, and lesson fees then go for it. He seems like a good horse and if he responds to you and you and your parents like him then I would say go for it. If your concerend what your friend will say after you buy him then, once she sells him, she has no say in what you do with him, once she sells him to you then you have full control over him. If thats not the problem, he seems to be a good horse, I would go for it if I already didnt have a handful of a pony.

Answer 8

i would say go for it! I'd buy him if I could!

Answer 9

You should buy him if your really dedicated. But if your friend isn't selling him, don't put in offers.
