Pleasure or competition? English or Western riding, or pulling? This will determine the criteria you\u2019re looking for (temperament, size, athletic abilities, etc.).<\/p>\n Age of the prospect<\/strong>: Be aware that if you buy a recently weaned foal, you will have to wait three long years before breaking it in and being able to saddle or harness it. Do you have that kind of time? If not, maybe an adult horse would be more suitable.<\/p>\n What\u2019s your experience with horses<\/strong>? They often say, \u201cthe old horses make the young riders,\u201d which means that inexperienced riders should choose an older, more experienced horse that they can depend on. Conversely, experienced riders will be better able to handle a young horse and manage its education, energy, frights and misbehaviours. Buying a foal so that you can both \u201clearn together\u201d rarely leads to a good outcome, as foals need knowledgeable, experienced handlers that can teach them good habits with just the right balance of firmness, softness and FAIRNESS. This delicate balance comes only with experience.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”2. Take your time and be patient!” icon_color=”#ba1f3a” open_icon_color=”#ba1f3a” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to fall in love with a horse from its picture. And yet finding the perfect horse can take a certain amount of time and energy.<\/p>\n Take the time to gather information and ask questions to the community on social media. When you see an ad, don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions and request more information. Visit breeders so that you can make comparisons and confirm your opinions.<\/p>\n Go in person to see the horses that match your criteria. If they\u2019re broken in, ask to take them for a ride, with a saddle and\/or with a harness. Visit them several times before making a decision. Ideally, you should have an experienced horseperson with you to give you advice and guide you through the sales process.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”3. Pre-purchase vet check” icon_color=”#ba1f3a” open_icon_color=”#ba1f3a” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Regardless of the horse\u2019s price, you should always get it checked by a vet first. That way, you\u2019ll be aware of any significant abnormalities that could end up in costly bills down the road.<\/p>\n This protects both the buyer and seller. The latter may be selling the horse in good faith, without knowing about an invisible detail that could cause an issue (heart murmur, vision loss, etc.). The price of a vet check varies based on the number of tests you order. It\u2019s up to you, depending on what your intentions are for the horse!<\/p>\n Unless agreed otherwise, the vet check is usually covered by the buyer, who also chooses which vet to hire.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”4. Plan your budget” icon_color=”#ba1f3a” open_icon_color=”#ba1f3a” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n People often talk about the price of a horse as though that\u2019s the end cost of buying a horse, and the related maintenance costs often get underestimated. Horses cost much more than just their purchase price. There are monthly boarding fees, bi-monthly farrier fees, vet bills a few times a year (routine worming and shots, dentistry, small injuries), etc.<\/p>\n Those who are lucky enough to have an acreage still have to factor in the cost of hay (better to get more than not enough!), feed, fencing, etc.<\/p>\n Once you get into it, the actual price of the horse practically becomes an afterthought. If you can\u2019t come up with an extra $500 or $1,000 to buy a horse, you probably won\u2019t be able to afford the price of hay (or board) when it increases!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”5.

The prices may seem good, but they may be hiding health or behavioural issues. Ask to handle and ride the horse to make sure it suits your needs.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, these horses often don\u2019t come with registration papers, so be aware that it may be difficult to transfer them to your name.<\/p>\n At any rate, make sure you get a receipt that includes the horse\u2019s name, its breed and a proof of payment.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_toggle title=”6.

If in doubt, please contact us<\/a> before finalizing the sale. We\u2019ll help you make the necessary verifications.<\/p>\n The only acceptable exception is for foals under 6 months, as their registration may not have been finalized yet.
