As a trainer of 20+ years, trader and instructor, I have to say most of these "how to buy your first horse" videos make me cringe and want to scream. I am very pleased with the content in this video and I feel you covered the basics nicely. Well done.
Poot I do see that. I have seen so many cases of people who are new to horse keeping, end up buying the "perfect/bomp proof" horse that ends up needing a bunch of training and ends up being sold again.
Personally I don't think people 100% new to horses should even buy a horse. I'd recommend leasing for a long time until they are more ready for ownership.
Poot I agree. People just don't realize that keeping a horse is hard work and really expensive. They need to be ready to be broke so their horse can be "rich" 😂
Your mare is so patient and calm! My grandmas mare would have just walked off without a care in the world😝 This was a very good video as well, thank you for all your information!
I was cantering on my horse yesterday and I went over a jump and he lost his balance and fell and I flew off and he fell on me. Disclaimer: we are both alright
J R Huh? She’s just asking a question... don’t lash out, seems she’s watched other videos to know Happytails has a lot of animals. :) don’t be sarcastic it’s not very nice.
Omg thank you so much 😊 my dad has said he will get me a horse 🐴 so this is so helpful seeing as he has no experience. 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠
Really good sensible info into the all important basics ...I'm very impressed with this...your delivery is also very refreshing...not ego fuelled and self absorbed. Very helpful and pleasant...the horseworld needs more people like you...I hope yr continuing ..
I just have to say to say that your horse looks to be the most contented animal I've ever seen outside maybe my own dog. I can watch this video over and over just watching her. .. Wilburrrrrrr...
I hate it when people with barely any experience go out and buy like a young Arabian mare or something like that's not really ok. I've leased two horses in my life before and have been riding for 8 years (or more). I hopefully will be getting a horse soon! :) Thanks for the video!
Grace Clark Dear Grace, I rode owned showed horses for over 60 years, the difference is if you lease a horse, you put all the hard work into it school it feed it ut at the end of the lease you have to return it to the owner, you do not own it. When you buy a horse you own it, it belongs to you, when you school it , you school it for yourself, you feed it for yourself, you alone make the decisions about what you want to do with it, show it, jump it, event it. The animal belongs to you, and if it turns out good, you can sell the animal if you want too, you don't have to, hand it back after putting in a lot of hard work and get no reward for spending all the time you put into that particular horse. I hope the next horse you have you will own it. GREETINGS FROM NORTHERN IRELAND.
Trying a horse for the first time on sunday and im very excited and hope it all works out! Ive been riding for 9 years and have been going on lease horses for a while now and it pains me to see young people who just start buying horses. Thank you for this!
area3eventing how did that go? It's super exciting! I've been riding about a year now and I'm thinking about my first lease horse. I'll start leasing once I move to a jumping barn 😊
My horses live both in stall and in pasture. My horses Ti, Hershey, Angel, and Pronto live in a huge pasture in the spring and summer where there is lots of grass. Also, In the spring and summer they don’t ear hay, they just eat grass, chaff in thier buckets and a little bit of grain. In the winter and fall, they are stalled in oversized stalls and eat hay and grain. (Chaff counts as forage so I guess they eat hay)
Your channel is so amazing! it is so true that horses are large and majestic. The worst case sanario with a horse is if they are a little too determand. My relatives own a farm and have horses, their friend boards two horses at the farm. When my cousin and I were six, and my siblings were two and four we heard an awfle shreak come from the pasture. On of the two boarding horses got tangled in the fence. All of the adults told us five kids to stay inside. (two cousins, my siblings and me.) We sat at the window and watched the adults franticly cut the electric fence off of the horse. My little three year old cousin screamed, my sister sobbed, and my brother ran into the bathroom to hide. My cousin and I, being only six stared in utter horror. The horse got free and was fine after that but he still was scared for life. Mentally and pysicly. All of this had started for a bite of grass on the other side of the fence. Thank you for showing the importants of a proper encloser.
I love your horse! She's so laid back like one of my mares I own. I do barrel racing and pleasure. Also on a more random note I love Caspian and (I don't know the other dog) fighting in the background 😂
Also thank you for including that people need to see the horse ridden first! Most people don't mention that and I worry for the beginners buying horses as they don't know to ask. Or in some cases are scared or nervous to ask very many questions.
I have been riding and taking care of horses for a long time now, but still, I don't feel ready yet... Not because of money (and I am broke...), and not because of time (I don't have a lot of time either, but yea...), but because of experiences. I have a lot of experiences, but it feels like that I don't have enought... I am doing the first year of agricultre, Forestry and Fishing, and we have horses there too and I chosed to be with the horses. I have learned a lot, but I need more. I am reading about horses when I have time and when I feel for it and I know what breed I want (I want the Norwegian Lyngen Horse, Haflinger, Icelandic Horse, etc), but I want to wait a bit more too. For me, I think that's the best for me and the futured horse :) But I'm very glad that you made this video, so I can take this with me :)
Thx very helpful. If you can could you please make a video about what you need to look at when you go look for a new horse and what you need to check on it before buying it
I did one mistake potentially buying a horse... I got on without seeing the owner on and I got bucked off. The horse turned into a full on bronc and the sadle completely tipped with me still on it. We later realised the horse was drugged and the man tried to take advantage of the fact that it was our first time buying a horse. So make sure to always make the owner do it and don't put yourself in danger.😊
Im seeing these everywhere and have been thinking about it a lot, sadly my parents are definitely not getting me a horse. But it can’t be a coincidence I’m seeing these videos everywhere on my recommandation page😅
As a Navajo I’m pretty sure it has to do with are close nit families helping out one another and the fact that we are pretty down to earth(live off the land) and own a minimum of what we need to survive. You usually don’t see a lot of us in fancy cars or houses when we can help the rest of are family with that money

+Mary Cook thanks!
Mary Cook thank u for the help I ride and love horses and I am capable of looking after them I'm truly exited to get my first
and my aunty owns a field and my uncles a breeder farrier and trainer
I have been riding since I was 2 1/2 😍😍😍
Annabelle Chua-Tran it's not dangerous if know how to do it. I do it and I'm fine and alive.
wait what? People actually buy horses without seeing them in person first? That seems like a lot of money to be throwing away.
animalobsessed1 I know!
Actually it's not that uncommon to do that, especially overseas or with weanlings/yearlings.
Poot I do see that. I have seen so many cases of people who are new to horse keeping, end up buying the "perfect/bomp proof" horse that ends up needing a bunch of training and ends up being sold again.

Disclaimer: we are both alright
OH NO!Thankfully your ok
Good thing ur alright and the horse of course
I hope you and your horse are alright! Be careful
I might get a horse 🐎! But I will keep it at a horse stable because there is not enough room at my house
Same I live in big island.
How can someone be so lucky to own a horse😭😭😭😭
Wow lucky I ride my cow 😂
same
tianti burrows wow I’m moving from Oahu there and am trying to purchase a horse but I can’t find any :(
At 0:23 your dog looked like a wolf.
More like a dingo
PITBULLS 4 LIFE I thought so to
Jesi ti iz Hrv
ya
I thought it was a dingo
You are right horses are not easy!! It is very clear that you love your horse.
I love horses! I plan on getting one when I'm much older. Thanks for the tips, Meghan!
I ride horses since like 1 year old and I always wanted a horse
That is one adorable pony.
That horse is absolutly gorgeous!!
Do you live on a ranch? That seems to be the only logical explanation for the amount of animals you have.
Wow, OMGOSH, I didn't realize that 4 animals were considered a ranch, (I'm being sarcastic) that's not all of animals
No they are to teach people on how to care for and become friends with them as she said in the intro
J R Huh? She’s just asking a question... don’t lash out, seems she’s watched other videos to know Happytails has a lot of animals. :) don’t be sarcastic it’s not very nice.
Country Life she has a lot more then 4
@@thepetobsessedrainbow it was Sarcasm.
Thank you for teaching me that
it will be handy
I am getting my first horse later today! I'm so excited
Congratulations!!
i LOVE how you did one for a beginners!

Is rainbow a mustang? I see what looks like a mustang brand on her neck
+Tiro Wolfe yes she is 😄
Thats really awesome! I love to see more people taking in the wild horses :) Definitely a dream of mine to become skilled enough to keep a mustang.
Thank you :)
Is how much does rainbow cost per year?
Tiro Wolfe mustangs are freely roaming horses so there is no way 🦄

Great advice to new horse owners

THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW IM READY TO BUY MY FIRST HORSE IN 2 YEARS
I love horses and great video!
Thanks!
LOVE THISSSSSSSSSS!
I have 6 horse and I love him.. And I grew up with them.. Not trying to brag but I love them so much please notice this
Rainbow!!!!!! I love her!!!!! 😀😊
Thx very helpful. If you can could you please make a video about what you need to look at when you go look for a new horse and what you need to check on it before buying it
I LIKE THE DOG
I did one mistake potentially buying a horse... I got on without seeing the owner on and I got bucked off. The horse turned into a full on bronc and the sadle completely tipped with me still on it.

Yep. Can't argue with any of that. All good common sense advice.
However, I kept worrying about the halter/headcollar on Rainbow.
my favorite animal is a horse and i always wanted one and i grew up watching horse videos and movies and have horse stuff and i rode a horse before
your the coolest person in the world other then my mum
I'm lucky to grow up with horses, I go to an amazing farm and have lessons and their my favorite animal!!!!
gosh how did mountain men and cowboys and natives ever manage to own horses?
jhendka p. XD
They rode them like every day
As a Navajo I’m pretty sure it has to do with are close nit families helping out one another and the fact that we are pretty down to earth(live off the land) and own a minimum of what we need to survive. You usually don’t see a lot of us in fancy cars or houses when we can help the rest of are family with that money
Can you please do a video about not just about owning the horse but trimming vets expenses and all the complicated stuff about owning one
That horse is incredibly beautiful what’s her name she’s even wearing my favorite color Purple!!!
Nicholas Grubbs her name is rainbow
She mentions that her name is Rainbow around the beginning of the video.
I'm learning how to ride
I like. The horse
i like that horse in this video
Ive always wanted my own horse their my favorite animal
Right now I'm learning how to tack up a horse because I go to an horse back riding
These videos are great for me because I'm just starting 4H this year !!!!!!!!!🐴🐴🐴🐴
I love Rainbow
More guinea pig videos please. And I have a few horses and that is all true.
I’m getting a horse! 💙 I’m so excited 😆
