I am going see a horse on Monday and possibly buy. I am feeling nervous and excited.... I have only waited 47 years for this since i was 6 years old.
Anyone got any advice what to do if I buy this? I am buying through a local reputable dealer who was recommended by my riding school. This horse comes with no tack nothing at all. Can anyone recommend what I need to buy and what needs to be bought in which order. I have all riding equipment for myself and the only things i have for the horse is a grooming kit and an equine first aid kit. I have gold BHS rider insurance. Any tips would be appreciated.I had my first horse when I was 47, and he was certainly worth the wait. Hope the viewing goes well.
I rode her today and she seems perfect. I have a 30 day return on her if she is not suitable. She gets vet checked on Monday and a strangles test a week today. All being well after that she will be delivered to the livery yard. I experienced my first spook when I was riding her due to a crazy horse in the field next to the arena but I managed to ride out of it without too much drama. She has a back like an armchair. Unfortunately she is too far away to have more rides on her. Fingers crossed all goes well ... I know I am going against all advice.I am going see a horse on Monday and possibly buy.

I think we have at some point.Well, fingers crossed. I'm in no position to criticise, as I've done this - twice, and didn't regret it. Hope it all goes smoothly. Let us know how you get on.

I had a list and my first horse ticked one box, I didn't regret it.
I'm based in Northumberland and she is currently in Cheshire.
