Question

i need a horse bad.my mom will give me half the money. i can work of my bord. but if you have any good ideas of how to make some money plz tell me and nothng like lemande stands. im to little for a job. help me

Answer 1

Ok when you buy a horse you need vet once or twice a year for $100+ depending on which shots you get your horse. Also $300 and up for emergincys You will need the dentist once a year for $95+, more if your horse gets a tooth problem. You will also need the farrier every 6-8 week for $60+ for trims, $95+ for trim and front shoes, and $130+ for trim and front and back shoes.

See if you can start doing chores for money. Have a dog walking job. house/baby sit. Get a job at the barn. See if you can be a groom or learn how to braid, and braid horses at shows.

How long have you been riding? I am just asking because I know people who have rode a year and NEED a horse. Then they get the horse stop taking lessons and end up getting hurt and it is their horses fault.

Good luck

  

Answer 2

Since you don't have the money right now, try just leasing a horse for a while until you can actually buy one for yourself!  If you are too little to get a job, then you can't be expected to take care of a horse all on your own, and your mother should know that.  

Answer 3

I know you hate this answer, but this isn't a good idea. How will you pay if your horse should become seriously sick/injured? Would you just leave it to sit? Wait until you have a steady job for some extra money for emergencies.  

Answer 4

Have a huge b-day party.... by they way how did u get ur mom to say yes to getting a horse (write it as a comment or answer please!)

Answer 5

You cannot buy a horse with no money.  The buyer always wants money in return for the sale

Answer 6

You can work for board but how will you pay for food (if not included in boarding), the farrier and veterinary care?  What about other supplies you'll need?

It goes way beyond the cost of the horse.

Answer 7

There is so much more to this sport then board and purchase price of the horse.. There are vet bills, farrier costs, tack, supplies, supplements... the list goes on... Sweetie by the tone in your question Im guessing your young. I would take some lessons, maybe lease a horse and when you are old enough to get a job somewhere think about buying a horse. I hope I didnt damper your mood, but take this slowly dont jump head first into owning a horse it takes a lot of time and knowledge to do it right

Answer 8

Sometimes you can go to the sale barns. You may be able to rescue one from slaughter and get it for fairly cheap. That would be a wonderful way to get a horse and at the same time, save one. But remember, you still need money for vet bills, and feed.

Answer 9

Since actually buying the horse is the least expensive thing of the entire adventure of having a horse, money keeps piling up.

You not only have to have a saddle, bridal, saddle pad, halters, brushes, picks, fly sprays, oil soaps, medical soaps. But black smiths and vet bills too! Not to mention feed and boarding costs!

I was in the same position to you, so about three years ago I joined a barn about 30 minutes away from where I live and now work there. It's the closest thing I get to owning a horse and have developed a bond with a gelding that is just like buying my own horse.

I would suggest working around a barn, black smith shop, or Equine Vet practice.

Answer 10

when i was young i found a stable locally that did horseback riding  lessons. i volunteered down there and made tips. i made at least 200 in the summer time.

now for a horse.

if you looking to get a cheap horse. go on to horsetopia.com or horseville.com... type in the state your located in and there will be somthing that says advance search click that and you can put the amount of money you would like to get a horse for.

But also remeber there is vet bills if you horse gets hurt and shots they need to get so often. Then there is the dentist that you need to get once a year to float your horse teeth (file the teeth down). Then you need a farieer that will either trim or shoe your horse.

Then you need to buy hay for your horse unless he/she will have grass. then there is grain and dewormer that you need to get.

But these things i said you will need to basically get often.Unless your mom will pay for that.

hope you get a horse and best of luck.

Answer 11

You don't NEED a horse. You WANT a horse. Work at the stables cleaning and looking after the horses. Someone may take pity on you and let you have a horse if you continue to WORK there for free to pay for its food.  Still want one?

Answer 12

Maybe you could freelease a horse from someone who has one, but canèt ride anymore or doesnt have time for it. Maybe someone in your area whio is going to collegeéunniversity. These people just want someone to look after and care for their horse, they dont care how about making money. That way, youèll ahev a horse and you wonèt have to pay for it:)

Hope I helped:)

Answer 13

Woah wait!!! you NEED one or you just WANT one

well if you have no money looks like you cant get one...so get up off this computer start workin around the house go to a boarding place and make money

Answer 14

The Cheapest Part in Haveing a Horse is Buying the horse just ask any one. This is especialy true if you plan on showing. You can get a decent horse for $1000-$2000 but after that you ahve to pay for boarding wich ranges from $150 a month- $500 a month depending on where you go and if you get self care or full care, it can also be alot more expensive. Then you also have to think about the food ( Grain, Oats, Hay, Vitamins). Then there Vet Bills and teh Farrier. Then you ahve to Buy tack iYou Need a saddle Pad, a Girth, a Saddle, a Briddle, a Bit and maybe even a show saddle if you plan on showing. That there can cost you any where from $500 to well over $3000 depending on how much you spend on stuff. So my advice to You is to think about if you can afford all that stuff before you think about buying a horse. If you can afford all the stuff and the horse then Go ahead. But If Not I would also recomend leasing a horse Its alot Cheaper.
