- I see so many people who buy a horse for the first time and have no idea what goes in to actually caring for the animal. It takes a lot of time and effort. Watch this before you buy your first horse!

You forgot to mention that you do this rain or shine, blizzard or 100 degrees.
If you are deathly sick, cowboy up, they still need fed...... awesome content.
Thank you
I got pigs and goats...learned all about doing my rounds with a hangover hahahaha 😆
My stable does everything already. Its also a riding school. Tuesday my first horse will come
Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
🥳👍🙀
My stable does everything as well, and I take weekly lessons. I haven't bought my horse yet though, what stables do you ride at?
Hey let me know how it goes, lol are you in FL I see palm trees. Hey never mind my photo id it's for a youtube channel that never happened... My dream is to have a tiny house out their and lease a horse where I can ride it at the property I have the house on or next, then I hope to get an online job like a data entry job/etc :) But hey let me know how it goes Mich!!
I'm looking into buying a horse, but I've never had any experience. It's going to be a slow process of learning before I even spend money but I'm excited
I'm looking into bringing a horse into my life and this had been great info! Thank you for this vid!
You’re welcome!
Another good thing to look into if you haven't already, "how to make a horse a friend" some of those tips may prove useful as well when it comes to earning your partners trust.
With my girl just realize we want to be farmers… we live in Dallas… but we are dying to get out of the city ! … lambs , chickens and why not a bourse … will see how is it going in the future 🙏🏼
You get the horse?
So funny seeing the different personalities to the dewormer. Happy to know they get a tasty treat afterwards. I'm 34 and have religiously vowed to my parents that I will have a horse before I die, haha. So great to find these kind of helpful videos. I'm most familiar with birds like chickens, but ruminant animals, I am having to do my research.
Just so you know, horses are not ruminants. They have a relatively normal gastrointestinal tract. That is why you have to be careful what and how much you feed them. Cows and goats are ruminants, and can eat a lower quality of hay, and are more forgiving on overfeeding.
I really want a horse but I cant
Yeah my b, ruminant is what it is. My family wants goats and possibly cows so there are those. I try to learn what I can as much as possible. Things like colic and/or bloat scares me. I know most mammals and birds well enough, but I still have plenty to learn. I hope to have that knowledge before having any.@@garypoortvliet2478
Rode ex race horses when I was a kiddo; then life happened and haven't been able to get back to what I love. Thanks for content!

Thank you for the information man. We definitely appreciate you and please post more as we enjoy these videos! Hopefully one day I’ll have a horse 🙏
Thank you!

thankyou!!!!!!!!🥺🥺😆😆
That’s so awesome! Congratulations! You’ll never be the same

Good luck!
my barn provides everything as far as feeding and giving water and shelter goes, i’m looking for a tennessee walker as we speak and hopefully we’ll get one before christmas 🤞
Good luck!
Hello Michelle how’s the weather over there
Did u end up getting the horse?
You get the Tennessee walker?
I’m getting my first horse soon hopefully this year or early next year but it’ll be pretty much a pleasure horse :)
Those are great to have! Have fun!
my favorite part was when he got to the point
I've own 8 horses butt i never bought one since i was young i found a mare so today she is my brood mare.
nice video
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! Glad you liked the video.
Omgsh thank you for this video! I swear me and my friend will watch this 1,0000 times a day. so grateful for your help!
Anytime! Thanks for watching.
I spent 6 months on Facebook and it was not a good experience. I finally reached out to the barn owner where I was taking lessons and asked her to find me a horse.
Finally found the perfect buddy she is hauled him in for me last week. He's perfect!
wow congrats!...please how can I reach her? well, I've been looking for the perfect pony for my granddaughter.

I've been doing horsemamship for 9 years, and riding for a total of 9. I've always wanted to do reining, and there's a trainer nearby who is offering to help my parents and I start showing and buy a horse.
I'm looking for something very specific and my parents aren't wanting to spend over $12k. Hopefully we can find a horse soon!
Getting with a good trainer is a great way to go! Good luck!
Any updates?
Look into rescues, you can probably find a best friend through one and probably much cheaper.
I want one and am terrified of them due to an ignorant trail ride leader (after second chance I haven’t been near them for over a decade) so my hubby will help with everything so I can finally have my dreams come true 😭❤️🥰
How do you know if the grass you have is suitable food for your horses? How do you determine what supplementation they need? I’m hoping that my horses are able to primarily graze but I’m not sure how you know if that’s enough for them
I swear when you said alfalfa and started to cut, I could smell the damn thing. My grandpa in Mexico used to farm it and everytime we’d go over he’d have us pick some to make water for my mom and grandma. The old lady (grandma) would never take a sip of coke, always had the same glass cup filled to the top with her alfalfa water and ice. Great video!
Thank you
I could smell the hay lol🤣🤣
If you have several horses, round bales are good. They get completely eaten in about 3 to 4 days
Round bales put your horse at higher risk for botulism and heaves
if not hay what can horses eat during the Winter when there is no fresh grass available outside?
I am allergic to hay but not to horses!
I love to find a way over the Winer to feed the horse while I myself can still stay inside a stable with my horse, if any hay is around I will et asthma nad allergy.. but if only me and the horse are around I am fine as I am not allergic to horses but to specifically hay, birch and pollen...
Dude, your absolutely hilarious with the coffee ☕️ in the morning. Great video very informative. Keep at it man!
Thank you!
"Dont skip on your horse nutricion" wel feeding 2x a day is foo little. A horse i designed to eat almost constantly. When you feed less then 3x a day there stomach acid gets too stong. I feed AT LEAST 3x a day. When my horse was still stalled at my home i fed her 5x a day. The feeding ball is a really good idea tho. It keeps your horse thinking and helps to let your horse eat slowly over a longer time. I do it with a regular bucked with holes. My horse really likes it. Also its better to ragularly get your horse checked for worms instead of deworming. I know deworming is made to not harm your horse but ive seen several times that horses get sick of too much deworming. Its poison after all and why would you give it if they dont need it. I have my horse for 3 years now and she has never had worms.
I wanna buy a horse bcs I love horses but I don’t wanna throw myself into something and not be able to give him it’s best life. I am doing research first and I’m gonna talk to a few horse owners to see if I can give the horse his best life
Good move 👍🏻
Hello Melissa how’s the weather over there
im looking fourwerd to getting a palimino🐎 and a plain white horse🏇 and this video is just the thing👍
I've never fed round bales either. I feel high quality alfalfa and all the grass hay they want unless I have one with a weight problem.
There you go! Love to hear it
Hello Lee how’s the weather over there
@@stevenhenry4227 Too dry this year. Chilly and windy today.

Hha
When I went to puerto rico in the country side, there's feral horses everywhere. I was hanging out at a relatives house and there was this feral horse just eating the fallen mangos.
Wow!
@@BarrettHouser I felt bad for the horse, it looked healthy but had a weird growth on its one eye.
@@BarrettHouser it is cool to see that the kids in the country side of PR ride their horses to school. You can tell cause you see horses tied up at the stables at the school. And when school let's out, they're riding their horses bareback back to home.
That’s so cool! I need to do some traveling for sure.
@@BarrettHouser I was more amazed by people just riding their horses bareback. But when your a 60# kid it's not so bad for the horse. I grew up in Amish country lancaster pa, and the kids don't ride horses like that. They ride them horse and buggy style to school.
Neither i own horses nor do I live by the countrysise...but I just love watching these videos
Brand new subscriber! I’ve had horses in my younger life, family’s, but now I want my own. Would really like to retire one to a forever home. Just to get love and care for the rest of their days. There’s so much to learn tho. Almost seems a bit overwhelming, like for one I didn’t know about the hay ratio. I thought hay was hay…🤦🏼♀️ now our friends have welcomed us to come visit her horse at the local stables. Is horse therapy a thing? Is it weird??? 😅 if you were to right a book, I’d definitely buy in!
Horses get expensive. My stallion was off his feed for a few days but by the time the vet arrived he was fine. I figured as long as I was going to have a vet bill I might as well get him a checkup including his teeth. The vet cost a pretty penny but better safe than sorry.
Thanks for taking the time
My pleasure!
@@BarrettHouser I own 4 myself but I always welcome more education. I always assume I could be wrong. Your tips are welcome, thank you again. God's peace ✌
Great! Thanks for watching!

Hello Wendy how’s the weather over there
And owning a horse 🐎 in Florida is a little different the in the north
Very true!
Hello Linda how’s the weather over there
I think I'm getting a horse next summer or close to that time I already have 2 mini donkeys
Very cool!
Hello Paige how’s the weather over there
I got goats lol always looked into getting a horse problem is I’m allergic to all that hay so it’s a bit of a hassle but it’s not deadly so really up to how much I wanna deal with thanks for the video
Yeah very true. Thanks so much for watching.
What do you do with your goats?
You get the horses yet?
Hi so 1. about how much does a well trained horse cost?? One good enough for a kid to ride on. 2. I like the looks of your ranch. I was surprised when you said how hot it was. can I ask what state you are in. Not to contact but just curious. I thought it was like OR or ID.
We are in Texas. Let’s of horses vary so greatly so I really couldn’t tell you.
I’m wondering if you can give me a precise breakdown/summary of all the expenses. Hay, grain, farrier, deworming, etc. with rough estimates of quantity’s. I want to buy a horse but I’m having a really hard time figuring out how much it will cost monthly. I have my own place to keep it.
cW I will give you an idea of monthly expenses. I am purposely excluding board. I have one senior Appendix gelding, he is my rescue of 5 years. Grain/ feed. 50 lb bag 2x per month. 26.00 each. 1 3qt scoop in the morning & one at night. Alfalfa hay 21.99 per 2 string bale. One per week. 3 flakes per day. Plus his daily supplements. Figure about 150 per month on feed alone. Farrier comes every 6 to 8 weeks to trim feet. 30 dollars. Dentist 2xs per year 90 per visit. Dewormer every 3 months. 10 dollars. Vet appointment for annual vaccination. Add 100. You can add on extras. I buy good grain/ good hay & with his supplements he does wonderfully. Hope that gives you an idea.
I’m not buying my first horse but I haven’t had a horse in like 2-3 years so I’m trying to regain my horse mind lol
Well good luck! Won’t take you long!
Hello Amanda how’s the weather over there
Thank you
You’re welcome
buy a wheel burrow, it will save you on fuel and starter. No battery needed.
Hello Hailey how’s the weather over there
Great info! Love your horses!!!
Thank you!
I was hoping for information on how to buy. Maybe title it. Everyday horse ownership. (Before you buy this is what’s required)
I want a horse but am too crippled to get up on a horse to ride. I can certainly take care of one though years of experience.
Is it mean to have a horse but not ride it ?
Thanks
I have no idea about horses but Im about to move to the countryside in mountains and Im thinking how awesome it would be to have a horse and ride it aroud the valley
Awesome
Lovin’ that hat, where did you find it?
Could you do a video of what is in your horses day and night feed
We did a video not too long ago about their feed. Watch that one and let me know if you have any questions.
Hello Lasey how’s the weather over there
Thanks

Hello Heather how’s the weather over there
Hello!! New beginner horse owner here, I very new to having a horse. He became my family horse a year ago when he ran to our home and our family was asked if we would like to buy him we had just moved to our land 5 acres in TX and my parents agreed to purchase him from the neighbors who could no longer care for him. We are city folk who are doing the best we can to learn as we go.
He currently free feeds foliage all day on our 5 acres and gets 8 pds of grain each morning. Is there something that needs to be added to his diet? He is a hefty boy but I worry we all right providing him the best diet. any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much I enjoy your videos.
I never wanted a dog growing up....I wanted a horse ❤
There ya go! Same here! Well I wanted a day as well.
thank you for your video!!!!!
Great video! Thanks brother 🤠
Thank you for watching
This was good. Folks need to know what they are getting into
Thanks for the advice!
Of course!
Hi, I’m new to the channel but if you haven’t already posted a video in this could you Mabel post a video on the right type of horse to get for your 1st horse because I’m thinking about getting one but I want to have a good horse. Love your channel btw it’s amazing.
Thanks and will do!
@@BarrettHouser thx your videos are amazing and very helpful
Glad you enjoyed them!
Thanks bro for the info.. beautiful horses
You Need a good old invincible ranch horses I got one that got in a fight with a bob cat or something cause he cut his back leg pretty good and had three claw makes and a piece of meat missing on his face. A rinse with water and some wound spray and he was golden
They are worth their weight in gold. Glad yours is doing ok.
I saw Clever Cowgirl gives apple sauce before and after the dewormer which is better tolerated - just a thought you might want to try
I call hay arms, natural sun screen. Lol good video.
Exactly
I feed grain first then go through with the hay. Toss out the grass hay first then toss the alfalfa on top. If you feed grain you don't want it laying in their digestive tract while they digest the hay.
Not getting a horse of my own until I’m an adult. 5 more years to go, idk why I’m here TwT
What happens, and is there a problem, if you just let them feed on fresh grass, or just grass for that matter, the whole day on their own?
Ya I’m working saveing up buy horse also buy live stock trailer check into horsemanship
7:00 should you cover it or just leave it like that. like should you wrap it after?
So I'm in college and cannot get a horse anytime soon, but I grew up with them and hope to own several one day. I'm really curious about how to budget for a horse and get started while also being smart financially. If you have any tips or advice, that would be fantastic.
Really hard to say although I love where your mind is at. My opinion, just set aside money for when college is done and you can commit to a horse. Then figure out what your post college situation is like and see if a horse is in your cards.
@@BarrettHouser Thanks!
I used to give those treat balls to my dogs, only on a smaller scale.
if you guys leave the farm for say, vacation how do you go about keeping up with the horses? what if you leave for like a week or two?
We have great people who can come feed for us.
Kinda like horses are kinda like the big thing from the family kind of like the family Marque because mostly everyone I know has a horse and the family have horses or a big property to have horses on that’s why I was just curious but then again what do you have to do daily like what are all of the things you have to do in the days of work
Although i love this video because of the horses an their personalities! Its not the process of buying a horse for the first time. I wanna know if there’s licensing that needs done , is there a department of horsey services that come in to make sure its horse proof an safe, whats the paperwork process. Is insurance mandatory, is there two different kinds of insurance, like one for medical an one for stable/ barn home insurance for the horses? Do u have to pay taxes on them every year like u would a car? Is registration a thing? What to look for when buying a horse, what to avoid doing. How to tell if a horse is a good fit for u. Is there a probationary stage to make sure they get along with the other animals. What ways people try to lie about things regarding the horse an how to spot some red flags. I mean i need some in depth info regarding the buying the horse for a first time
We're do u buy all of this stuff at
Thanks for your videos very helpful.
Of course! Thanks for watching.
I want to know what type of horse should be a first horse.
Depends on what you want to do. I love quarter horses
I have a question. Why feed everyday if you have pasture for them to graze on?
Cause we don’t free range on this property. We had exotic animals in the pastures.
Just bought my first horse today from a friend with a ranch. If not for boarding qe would be screwed consider living in a neighborhood
Congrats!
do they have to stay standing or did you just tie them so they could stay put?
I thought you had a fun in your hand... and was like uhhhhh oh it’s a camera 😂
Haha 😂
I know this video is pretty old and you most likely won’t notice but I’m getting a horse soon, it’s not my first but we just moved and we don’t have the room, so I’m that case we are boarding and it’s my first time doing that. How do I know what they are feeding/the proportions of the feed?
That would be a vet question to me. Every horse is different. For my horses it’s a scoop of grain and 2 flakes coastal and 1 flake alfalfa.
@@BarrettHouser thank you!!!
Anytime!
Hello Madeline how’s the weather over there
Thanks for your video. Any thoughts on keeping a horse but in pasture with minimal feed inputs?
It’s good for some but not performance horses in my opinion.
@@BarrettHouser thanks 🙏
Great video! Can you give the horses the dewormer by somehow incorporating it into their food?
why do you have sand in your pasture instead of dirt?
We had just planted hay
I want a horse that’s perfect for all day riding, shooting from it, and friendly.
Do it
If you are purchasing a foal, do you think a hayball would be good so they dont eat too fast and upset their stomach?
It just depends on the horse. I personally wouldn’t, but that’s just me.
@@BarrettHouser Alright! Thank you so much!
How much space you need to have a horse and how much its cost a month for a horse. For feed
Just depends. We did a video on that. Check it out on our channel.
I drive past a house on my way to Jeff City that has a pretty brown horse, but the thing that makes my blood boil is the fact that I can see it's ribs every single time. Makes me want to knock some sense into the owners of that poor thing, horses are living beings too and need to be taken good care of. Why would you have a horse just to let it become malnourished and scrawny? It don't make no sense.
Makes me mad when I see cattle with scars or lesions on their face from being let loose into fields and not being looked after by the people who own the land, too. I love cats, dogs, goats, chickens, you name it. But something about cattle and horses makes me feel differently, and I'd fight someone if they knew they were mistreating their animals.
Not being informed is one thing, that can always be changed and I'm liable to be much more understanding if it's clear they just didn't know and thought they were doing fine, kind of like people who own obese cats and don't know they're killing them. But I can not for the life of me stand folk who don't provide for their animals properly on purpose.
Every time I see a healthy horse, a smile creeps along my face that I couldn't stifle even if I wanted to. I just love the damn things. Pretty, compassionate, and strong.
ok, this is nice for AFTER you buy a horse but it says it's about BUYING a horse and that's what I need
If you were buying a horse for trail riding what breed does better then others
Really depends. I am a quarter horse man.
Ok I grew up with a friend who had a quarter horse so that's why I was a fan .what kinda price should you expect to pay for a quarter horse.
It just depends on the horse and how much experience they have. I can’t really give you an exact price
