How to Purchase a Horse for a Child
Talk with your child., Decide on your budget.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Talk with your child.
Ask her what breed of horse she'd like, and whether she'd like a mare (female) or gelding (neutered male).
Though you should ensure that whatever horse you buy for your child is safe and appropriate, your child should be part of deciding too! -
Step 2: Decide on your budget.
Talk with your spouse and any other family members and decide on the maximum amount of money you're prepared to spend.
Be aware, however, that safe, good-quality horses are usually as much as a couple thousand dollars, and that it can be foolhardy to decide you won't spend more than $200.
