Choosing the right horse to fit your needs is an important decision. When researching a horse to buy you should pay particular attention to characteristics of the breed. The cost of buying a horse not suited for your needs can be very unforgiving. Therefore, before selecting an individual horse you should first ask yourself a few basic questions.
• Why do I want or need a horse?
• What do I want to use this horse for?
• What qualities am I looking for?
• How much do I know about this breed?
• Do I need more information?
Owning a horse requires both time and commitment. And remember a lot more goes into owning and caring for a horse than you might think. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration by doing some basic research. Knowing the type of horse you want before going to look will eliminate a great deal of stress.
