I've decided that I'm almost completely stable enough financially to start saving for a real life horse. I'm so excited! It won't be for at least six months, but I can't hold in my excitement at all. I have a ton to learn about real horses though. I used to know everything about them but with life... well, researching can never hurt. I have a breed in mind. I just hope they don't suddenly become extremely popular like Vanners and get out of my price range. Lol

Exciting! It is out of my price range... and will be for at least a few years :/ But my eventual goal is having one of my own too. What breed are you looking at? Do you have a specific horse already in mind?

That's very exciting!

Asking for one since I was 5. One day it will happen!

Yay! Getting a new horse is always exciting!

Im also curious to know which breed!!!

That's so great! I wish I could buy a horse but all the monthly expenses that come with it, I still don't make enough money to keep up with it :(

Make sure to post pictures when you finally buy it!

I'm looking at Bashkir Curlies. I'd really like a non-grey one as I hear they attract dirt like crazy. So, I'll probably end up with a grey one. Lol. The expenses scare me a bit, but I've got a few plans. I'm staying with my grandmother until she can get into senior housing. Once she gets into housing, I can move into my bus. I'll be converting that into an rv. Then I won't have to worry about paying rent, which is super expensive in Colorado right now. That frees up several hundred dollars. Not to mention the fact that my grandmother eats $500 or more in groceries every month. I don't spend that in three on myself. There are several ways to cut down expenses but it's a lot of sacrifices.

All horses attract dirt lol

So do you have property to keep the horse or are you gonna board it?

Horseloverz.com usually has good deals on horsie stuff... i get alot of buy one, get one free stuff!!!

Like on here, all i can say is save save save!!!

So awesome! I almost got a horse myself recently, but then I was like I don't know much at all about horses so I really need to learn before I can get one!

Azalie, I'll be boarding for a year or two. Should probably learn how to properly care for one before doing it all by myself. I'm hoping to learn how to ride a horse by then as well. I remember very little from my summer of lessons.

Khaleesi, what kind were you thinking about getting?
