TESTIMONIALS

I had no idea about all the associated expenses! I was just oblivious to what it looked like to own and show a horse.
So You’re Going To Buy A Horse? is easy to read and has tons of information – information I wish I had last year before we bought our first horse! The information on the purchasing process, getting insurance and the hidden fees would have been very helpful had I had this book prior to our purchase.
I’m a pretty logical person, I love lists, process and organization etc. I was pretty surprised (and a bit frustrated) at how disorganized the horse world can be at times. It would have been great to know a little more about the process ahead of time – or even in real time!
I’M IN! WHERE DO I START LEARNING?
So You’re Going To Buy A Horse? is your shortcut to becoming a confident and informed horse buyer. With this book to guide you, you’ll save countless hours of internet researching and dodging the confusion that comes with sifting through scattered advice. Don’t let overwhelm stand in your way.
We’ve done the legwork for you and considered the experiences of thousands of first-time horse owners who’ve walked the same path. This is your roadmap to fulfilling your dreams of horse ownership.

life-time rider; first-time owner:
I don’t believe I can quantify what my “stable life” has given me in terms of dollars. It goes so far beyond that. Cost has literally nothing to do with the value of horses for me.
For many, owning a horse is not just a hobby; it’s a lifestyle that offers rewards that go far beyond the show ring, or even the barn. The physical, mental, and emotional benefits of caring for and having the privilege of riding horses are abundant. Horses can positively impact your well-being on so many levels and we’ll explore why so many equestrians believe that the benefits
of owning a horse are immeasurable, making every dollar spent a wise choice. I owe so much of who I am today to my life with horses, and whether you are just getting started, or if you are beginning this adventure with your child, I wish you all the success, fulfilment, joy and the happiness that I have found through the years.
