How many years riding experience do you recommend before considering buying a horse?
I know owning a horse needs more than just riding, but im actually learning faster at the caring than i am at the actual riding. I haven’t been riding long at all, but think i know all the basics in Horse Care. How long you recommend riding for, before considering to buy or lease a horse? And if anyone has any basic Horse riding/ Horse care questions, i’d be willing to try and answer them.
You don’t have to wait, You could buy one now. The whole waiting a year thing is ridiculous. Everyone starts somewhere. There is no law or rule that says you have to wait, you just might need to get some lessons or have someone around you who can help you better you riding skills if you run into trouble.
I grew up with a bunch of friends most of which had horses and we didn’t know how to ride, just learned as we went.
Go for It.
