#1 this is exactly what Bratayley did. They did the green horse green rider🙄🙄🙄🙄
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "daily horse racing tips" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Honackson Meyrayden Idea - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got cool success with it.
Yea.... green + green = blue and black eye
Bratayley doesn’t deserve a horse she doesn’t even know about them like bro back off 🙄🙄🙄🙄
IKKKRRR
Simply Blue23 the horse was 3 years old and Annie didn’t even know how to lunge a horse. She was riding for like 6 months.
Here's a mistake that I did, although it was a good mistake but people probably should never do it.
I adopted my boy from an adopter, who got him, thin, welt on his back from a cover, welt on his nose from the halter, been left out in the paddock for 7 months. He came from a harness racing stable. 11yo Standardbred gelding. Green to saddle, raced for 8 years. I went out to go see him and got him because
I felt so sorry from him,
I was actually in tears when I saw him. Now dont get me wrong, I still have this sweet hearted giant, I ride him and he is my heart horse, but you really need to think before you go and buy a horse out of pitty for them. I got lucky and he turned out to be an amazing horse, but not all horses are like this and I should not have brought him because i felt sorry for him. Even though I love him so much i just got lucky.
If you know the horse will be a good fit then get them, or if you’re someone like me get them no matter what lmao, but I see what you’re getting at. You should never buy a horse in a split second decision just because you feel bad for it (unless it needs rescued and you can foster. Only exception) or just because you want a horse (I woulda been guilty of this one but thankfully my parents made me wait lol). Good point tho a lot of ppl don’t think ab this one.
I’m so happy I read your comment today as I’m going to see a horse that I don’t know if I want but I want to help it out of a bad situation.
I’m a green rider and even I know green riders and green horses don’t mix
I bought a 8yr old Morgan mare the only thing she knew was dragging logs to a portable sawmill,I paid 500.00 for her she was so powerful from logging her muscle development was off the charts,she became a legend in the backcountry,in the arena ,there was nothing she couldn’t do ,rope ,game ,I had so many miles on her back ,we literally became one ,she had enough heart for a dozen horses,we got caught in a snowstorm overnight on a elk hunt,she broke trail for hours in deep snow ,that allowed the other camps to get out too ,we were together for 36yrs when I made the decision to put her down ,it was because she let me know it was time ,after the vet gave her a dose ,we both went down to the ground,I still get choked up thinking about her,friends always tell me I should write a book about our adventures before I die,I miss you,til we meet again BUFF rest up partner we got eternity ahead of us
Absolutely heart warming. I just can visión the inseparable bond u both had. Thanks for sharing❤. I’m truly sorry for ur loss.
I am not really a beginner but I just got my first horse! I am more of a novice. I watched this video to make sure that he is good and yeah
Same but I haven’t got my horse yet 😢
your channel is litteraly so good (probably my favorite) i already have my horse and she is everything i wanted (she's also old 17) even though i didn't look specifically for anything i'm glad i did everything "right" that you said in the video 💜:)
Awe that means a lot! Thank you so much!!💕
🙌🏼 thanks for the video! I know lots of beginners buying young green horses😬
Last year I went to a ridding camp and he was 20 but acted like he was 7 😂😂😂
After my first horse passed away i started looking for a horse. I finally found my perfect new baby. Shes a 5yro black QH/Grade mare and shes 15hh. She is so cute but needs a bit of finishing up on her training. But the training has been doing good so far shes a really fast learner. LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS💕
As much as I looove horses, (especially the larger and bigger bois), I will never be able to afford one and I'm okay with that. A couple weeks ago I noticed that my neighbors bought a pair of donkeys and I fell in love!! They seem to be more of a match for me so I am very excited to be finding my own place 😊
I live in an small apartment downtown but if I ever have the need of buying a horse I guess I'll keep this tips in mind. Thank you UA-cam algorithm
I’m not looking for a horse now but I always go on equine now and see if my dream horse on there 😂 but I have no intention on buying them 😂
My girl lexi was 15 when I got her & the previous owner was very honest about what she was like she was/is a project but lexi acts like a 9 year old & I wouldn't trade her for the world she was is the first horse I've owned but I shared long term with many horses but yeah thanx for this vid its awesome x
Aww😍❤️ Thank you!!
Super informative! I am planning if God is willing maybe soon I will buy a horse maybe...this is not set in stone yet...but I am adopting most likely. A much older horse who has been there done that.
I was going to buy a foal who is not trained even though I’m a beginner but thanks to videos like this ❤ I changed my mind to a broke trained horse 🐴
Thank you 😊!
I have had my horse for 2 weeks now and he is 14 red with a white blaze and he is awesome !!!
In March I'll have had lexi for a year & couldn't be more happy we've both come a long way since I got her & Again in wouldn't give her up for the world love my lex no matter how crazy she makes me at times lol
Thank you for the tips , I am going to buy a horse soon .Very helpful!!!😁😀
Thank you! This is so helpful!
I love this series! 💛
Thank you!!😘💛
My baby was 22 when she got colic
She passed away at 23
I miss her so much but I know she would’ve wanted me to continue. She really was so easy for me and I feel like without her I lost so much confidence. I already know everything I need to know, but I’m going back to watch beginner videos because I just need a refresher :) this was an amazing video!
I’m so sorry to hear that 😞💔 I know it’s hard to come back from something like that, but if you desire to get back into it at all you should definitely do that as soon as you can!!🥰🥰
Hi Hannah, I think that this is a very helpful video even though I already have horses and I know what to look for when buying a horse. I think that all five of these mistakes are made by alot of people. Great video. Love you Hannah,
Attie💙
Thank you so much! Love you too!❤️❤️
i did buy a baby horse for my first hors but she was a rescue and would’ve been sent to slaughter. she is doing really great now and she’s already in a saddle after just 2 years of owning her.
I’m not getting a horse but I rlly want one(riding for 6yrs) and what I’m doing is screenshoting the stuff I would need adding it all up THEN looking at horses(also my dream horse got sold🥺😭14 yr old 15.2 hand $3800 mare 2/10 temperament blue eyes buckskin overo😍
Thank you soo much for this I bought my first horse she a thoroughbred that is not trained she was fine she is getting trained and I am doing lessons too and I know people will be screaming at me but I did lease 4 different horse and ridden 13 different horses
I see that you did this video and the other beginner horse series in the same day. Good idea! Lol!
Helpful tips! Thanks
Another great video!!!❤️🙌
Thank you so much!!❤️
I absolutely love your channel!❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!❤️
Simply Equine 27 you are so very welcome!😁😁 PS thanks so much for replying and hearting my comment!!!
I love your channel so much! I own a horse named Phantom and he's 22. He's my absolute heart horse and everything I wanted. I am forever blessed that he's my horse.
Aww❤️ Thank you so much!!
@@SimplyHal27 Of coarse
my dad bought me a colt this year and it is hard training him . i've had horses before but never a colt . he has so much spunk and attitude.
This is so helpful!!!❤️❤️ I love this beginner series can you help wih wear you can find a horse which is available cause idk if to just look online and see which horse is closer honestly I just need help with that but I luv uuuu!!❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad!!❤️ Aww love you too! I like looking online and on Facebook groups. It’s also great to ask around at feed stores and stuff!
Maybe for a next video, could you talk about some specific course terms that people would use to describe their horse and how it would affect her behavior, if that makes sense
At the beginning of my search (which is still ongoing), I was very strict about not wanting greys but honestly, I've started looking at a few greys that were the perfect match, going off what the owners said, besides being grey. So I became more open-minded and stopped being so picky about not wanting greys. There's actually a really nice grey gelding I've got my eyes set on now, even though I didn't want greys. I am a more advanced equestrian, maybe not, particularly in the riding aspect but I've been around horses most of my life, I've had jobs as a stablehand at different barns and ranches. I definitely want to accent what you said in the beginning. If you aren't experienced around horses DON'T GET YOUNG HORSES.
Amazing video very helpful 👌
Thank you!!
Im super excited! Getting my first horse this year. Theyre 1 year old :) (yes i have experience with green horses. I already saddled/trained one and teached some horses the basics) and it was super fun! (Hence why i am gonna buy a green horse. It was a super fun experience)
@Moon Equestrian im very much aware where in my comment did i say i would ride them 😂
Good advise.
Hi! In one day how much time do you spend taking care of one of your horses?? Love your channel and your horses!!!
I am looking for my first horse, I have been riding since I was 6, that’s 7 years, but I have never owned a horse. I am looking to buy a horse, in the very near future (within a year) and decided to watch this first. This really helped me out, like I was looking on Equinenow and I need a 14.5hh horse or taller, and within 50 miles. Those are my only requirements, I hope you see this lol 👍
Congratulations on getting your first horse soon! How exciting!!!💕🤗 I’m so glad this was helpful to you!
SimplyHal 😯 I didn’t think you would see that... 😲
For my first horse i got a 4 year old but I'm not a begginer I've been riding for a while so it does depend
So I am not exactly in the market for a horse right now, but I have found a quite young Fresian/Appaloosa mix that has really caught my family’s eye. We would be doing EXTENSIVE background checking and research before making any decisions, but this particular green horse has tons of trail miles on him already, and apparently does very well alone on trails, which is unusual for someone who is only 5 years old. I could totally provide a link to this guy’s Ad if anyone would like to throw in their sense about it as well! I am definitely not a green rider, but at the same time, I definitely can’t handle any kind of horse. I’ve been riding for around 5-6 years consistently, and am very confident in my ability. Any advice for the situation? Another important thing to note is that this horse is also out of state, so I would be likely having my trainer check him out virtually if we decide on anything
very hekpful. thank you
Gettiing scammed is honestly the biggest thing, that happened with me. We even brought a trainer that loved that horse and did a vet check that day too. For me I do personally have a limit on older horses when purchasing. Yes a horse can act like they are 8 but when they are 20, thats when they start to decline. Like Arthritis pops up etc. Personally, if I was a highschooler so to speak, and is in 4-h or in an Equine team Id personally like one thats 12. You'd want to spend the time when they are both young and old in my opinion
awesome video! I used to take care of a rather large horse for three years when I was around 11 years old. It was, by far, the nicest horse I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He did not do anything outside of what he was supposed to do and was very lowkey with the other horses where I had him for a while. Now, he is dead, which is really sad. I want to get a new horse now that I am older, and would like to know where it is safest to buy one? I live in a farm, so space is not really a problem. Is it okay to make a space for them that is not too fancy? The horse i used to take care of for someone else did not have the best place, but it worked out for us and he seemed to not mind
Being very tall myself with a even taller husband (195cm / 6ft. 4in.) we kinda need to look for a certain height. I don't feel comfortable on horses below 165cm, at around 170cm i start to look "to scale" and feel seated well on the back. Same with the age. Being 33 and 40 our first horse will probably be our only horse in our life, so we are trying to find a nice horse around 5-10 to life fitting to our horse life with us. :) Maybe there will ever be a 2nd but very likely no 3rd (except maybe a driving horse). So I am a little bit more picky when it comes to what I am looking for, but also willing to travel a lot further (12h drive is okay) and wait (looking for 12 months now cause most just didn't feel right or click). Now I found the nearly perfect one (well a mare, not a gelding I was hoping for) but Covid ruined the buy. :(
I had a mini pony and she passed away of old ness now we are going to get a quarter horse and I am going to get everything
Hey! I'm late, but I need some advice. I have a 16.3 hh TB, never raced, only track trained, he is a 14-year-old gelding, and he is very healthy! He competes in novice and jumps, but he gets a bit lazy sometimes, but that's just his nature. I was planning on retiring at around age 20-24, and eventing through Preliminary maybe even advanced level. Do you think that would work?
I have always wanted a horse like my entire life, when I was younger I was heart set on getting a black and white horse as I used to call it(a paint), then when I saw an appaloosa I was like oh imma get a spotted horse but now that I'm almost 16 i have not had my own horse but I'm a good rider I've worked with horses many times in fine with any colored horse I'd be rlly happy with a bay just as long as the horse picks me and ik what to expect from that horse then I'll be happy with it
You are so beautiful and Intelligent I am so grateful you made a Beginners series. Ilysm🐴🐎💚🐴🐎💛🐴🐎🧡🐴🐎💜🐴🐎💙🐴🐎❤😍
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
@@SimplyHal27 your welcome so much❤
Thank you
I have made so many mistakes with my current animals, including not searching enough or at all about how to care for them and only relying on the sellers info… result: a dead Betta fish, reactive dog, cage too small for my birds (I’m letting them lose in a controlled room now), in some years time I want to buy a horse but I don’t want to get it wrong anymore
I’m getting a horse and this is very helpful so I don’t make these mistakes
I have a question, if I have experience riding horses and leasing for a few years could I get a green horse?
can you please do a training horses for beginners? round penning riding etc.
You have no idea how addicting the thumbnail is to me🤤😍
Hi, Hannah! so i recently bought a horse named Wren, she is 6 years old and is still a bit green. I, am just starting my 3rd year of riding in the spring. but the thing is, that my coach (Megan, the owner of the barn where i ride) was willing to train her. And the owner of Wren (Brooklyn) who was selling her is really good friends with my best friend (Ellie) whos horse is at Brooklyns barn. and they have personal connections, so Brooklyn would never suggest selling Wren to me the first place if she knew Wren wasn't a good fit for me. also over a couple months i have been helping Ellie by cleaning the stalls where she rides her horse willow, which is the place where Wren is. so I got to see Wren a bunch of times before she was even for sale. Brooklyn saw that me and wren had a connection, because usually when people got near her she would pin her ears back and grind her teeth. But she wouldnt do that with me whenever i went up to her. so, when Brooklyn put Wren for sale, I was really interested. what i'm trying to get at is, was it a mistake to buy Wren? even tho we had a connection, and she was getting trained by professionals before i would ride her? and Brooklyn was also friends with us so she would never sell a lame or drugged horse to me. Brooklyn also did some liberty with Wren before she sold her so she wasn't totally green. i just dont want to feel like i made a mistake everytime i go out to see my horse. -Haley
Hi Haley!! That is SO amazing!! Definitely doesn’t sound like a mistake. It sounds like you’re doing it right! Having a connection with your horse is so important! ❤️
hi i want to have a horse im 10 and i am not a biggener im a midle range of riding and i want to have a conemara pony that is 5 but it is well behaved and it was ridden only buy a 9 year old boy is it a good idea?
Would you suggest adopting a horse if your a green horse owner?
So my sister is asking for a horse. She is 12 but is an advanced rider. The problem is if we get her a horse we would have to board it somewhere because we live in a townhouse. Would it be a good idea to get her a horse? Everyone in the family has done tons of research about everything. Health issues, boarding cost, boarding place, size, breed, color, experience, age, etc.
Can you do a video on cost and expenses
I rode a 26 yr old pony as my second pony cuz I can’t get a horse of my own and have just been borrowing everyone else’s. Yeah anyway this horse was jumping around 80cm easy. Quite forward. He was in a good state. Only got to ride him for a year tho. I was too shy to push it.
I have been riding for 2 years and I just brought my first horse he’s a 15.3 5yo Tb gelding named Scooby
#1 is me half but hear me out! I have alot of experience and have been riding for 10+ years, i also have had taken care and lead multiple young horses and even was the first person to ride multiple 3/4 year olds. Also taught some everything from the start etc. So i think this is the right choice for me PERSONALLY, my trainer of six years also agreed we’re a great match and I really am in love with my babygirl. So keep in mind #1 is not meant to everyone, it’s for the green horse green rider people and that is indeed a wrong thing! :)
Heyyyy the 7th person😂😀😀
As of rn I’ve had a horse for 3 years and I’m looking for a new one to get her a friend but, the only things I’m put in a search is my location and I almost refuse to get a gray rn because I have a paint and she is too much white for me to clean.
I've been doing western horsemanship for 9 years and I've been riding for 9. I've been showing for 5 years and I've been pretty successful. But, I want to start reining and competing in it as well.
So, my mom contacted a nearby trainer who is willing to help us buy a horse and we can board at their barn. I'd get one lesson free with the trainer per week, and they would train the horse throughout the week too.
The trainer said we shouldn't spend under $10k. I'm worried that I won't be able to find what I'm wanting in our price range (10k-12k).
Here's what I'm looking for:
Finished reiner
Gelding
7yo-10yo
Not super picky on color
HAS to have good confirmation and movement
Responsive to my cues (leg, seat, hand, voice)
Calm, collected, doesn't spook much.
Loads and hauls well.
We would obviously do a vet check and make sure there aren't any underlying health issues that the seller didn't tell us about.
But yeah, I'm looking for something very specific, so fingers crossed we find something!
❤️❤️🦄💯🦄💜
My first horse was 1 when I got him. We just broke him a few months ago and I was the second to ride him (his 4th ride) and i can tell you he was not a calm horse to break he flipped his first two rides. So I don’t agree with green plus green makes black and blue. I’ve been riding a few years but I’m still obviously not as good as other people.
I want a horse no older than 15, not because of temperament but because I might only have like 10 more years with that horse and I know that is a lot of time but time flys.
I know it's not the most practical thing to look for a horse of a certain color. In my case I'm looking at paint horse geldings. I know that my options would be more open if I kept it at paint horses rather than a specific color of paint (ex) buckskin paint). There are a lot of paints and other western breeds in my town, so that shouldn't be difficult at all. I think paints are 40% of the horse population in my area. I'll probably look into other horses, especially if they have exceptional training/temperament.. I'd be very happy with basically any horse, but It's gotta be a paint (as an artist who literally paints horses all day) it would make the most sense if my horse looks like it has paint splatters on him. I know my reasonings might not make sense to you, lol.
I use that website to
The thing about the age is soo true
My horse was underweight when got him and we think he was drugged they said he was was perfectly fine but he would not back up, except a bit, and even jumped in front of my sister and chased her into the woods. Please be careful when buying horse
Hello, i want a horse a have no clue if i bought a 5 year old horse can they be fully trained or would most still be in the process?
It depends on the horse. Some 5 year olds have a lot of experience when some 5 year olds haven’t been started yet. It all depends on the horse and situation(:
SimplyHal thanks! I’m getting one when I turn 15 and get a job so I’m just trying to get an i idea on what age and type, I love mustangs but I don’t know if they are good starter horses? What do you think? 🙂
I have done horse riding and stuff but I don’t have a pet I’m saving for one tho
BRO I LIVE BY U HOW DID I NOT NOTICE XD
I love horse's but they also scare me. Is there away to get rid of my fear? I really want to get a horse
Do you not ride?
Green on green makes black and blue
I just rescued a horse his name is Palomo he’s 20 and when I First saw him I just didn’t want him but now he is my baby I get him on Sunday January 17
When I search for a horse I just put in the height the price and jumper
I’m looking for horses right now and I’m 12 iv Ben riding for 5 years but i want a horse I can ride and trust not to buck and has experience like a 12 and above. But my mom and dad know NOTHING about horses they think there like puppy’s and I can raise it but I think I should get something a bit older
Yeah my granddad bought me a horse that was barely handled and he would tell if I can stay on then I know how to ride, I ended up falling off the horse and almost breaking my neck and got a concussion.
hg xob thank you for agreeing I told Him I’m not getting back on him until he is probably trained by someone who knows what they are doing
I don't really care about height or color , all I worry about is location, health , gender ,and temperament, plus personality I really want to get my first horse though
i know a horse who’s like 21 and still competing so yeah age doesn’t matter that much
I have a 4 year old☺️🤙
I found my dream horse, and it only costs $500 (Australia currency)
My horse is 22 and still acts like a 5 year old when he goes out to shows and out on trail rides.
A vet check should be #1
i don't care about the colour really i would rather have a amazing ride then a amazing colour also i do care about height because i wouldnt want to get a horse Im to big for
my sister rode a 22-year-old horse, we were both surprised when the mare acted like a 6-year-old
mean
I found a horse his name is caspian and I love him so much but he’s to expensive But who said that lottery wasn’t a thing 😏
I’ve rode the hardest horse at my trainers farm 😂
Green + Green = black and blue
Is a 6 year old horse consider old?
That’s really young
SimplyHal oh ok
I completely understand what your saying but I don’t agree with the age and height because they are most important thing to be specific about
That’s true, I was just talking about people that wouldn’t have seen the perfect horse for them all because the horse was a year older or younger than what they had put in.
Nice chickens lol
6# don’t keep horses next to a road
I found a really cute FullSizeRender.jpg
i would refuse to get an older horse since my logic says that i will cry more since its getting towards the ending age and i wont have time spent with it
