You don't have enough space to keep a horse. You don't have enough money to pay for food and tack and vet bills. Worst of all, you have not learned to write correctly in your native language. That indicates that you have not learned to take care of details. Do your homework. Read novels so you can learn how to write well and learn a few things about the world. Take acting classes and concentrate on vocal skills such as story telling, singing, or drama. That will increase your earning power so you can afford horses when you graduate.
Im a horse owner and I have ridden and owned horses for many years. When I was young and my mom couldn't afford to own a horse I took riding lessons. The place I went for lessons taught me all the ground work and safety that goes along with being a horse owner. They were very helpful and honestly I'm actually glad that I took lessons for all those years rather then just going out and buying a horse. Owning a horse is hard work and it can get expensive. They need regular vetting and their feet need to be trimmed regularly. Horses can also be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing so again getting riding lessons are very beneficial. When I was young they had me brushing the horses and preparing them to be ridden and taught me all the parts of owning a horse. I never recommend someone to go out a buy a horse without quite a bit of knowledge. I can't tell you how many people have done that and ended up with a horse who was way above their level or got stuck with a horse that was not what the seller said. Every horse lover wants their own horse but really lessons are fun and it will teach you so much. I went to a big ranch for weekly lessons and I got to do all the things I wanted to try. They taught me English and western and we did all kinds of things for both styles. That is how I figured out I was into barrel racing. You first need to know what you want to do for riding before you buy a horse. You may want to just trail ride or maybe you end up deciding you want to barrel race or show. This matters when shopping around for a horse. I definitely recommend you start with lessons once a week and really get a feel for what you want out of riding other then just owning a horse. I was once where you were and I can tell you now I'm almost 30 and I'm a better horse owner and rider today because of all of my riding lessons. I hope this helps you to make the right choice. Horses are a huge responsibility and also a big finacial one. Please do your homework on horse owning and learn everything you possibly can before making your purchase. Horses can be very hard to own and its definitely a huge commitment. Would you know what to do if you face a crisis with your horse? What if your horse decided to buck or rear or not go where you are leading it? What would you Do if your horse became lame? Would you be able to quickly recognise the early signs of colic? What would you Do if you couldn't catch or tack your horse? What would you Do if your horse started acting strangely? These are all things many horse owners are faced with everyday. Do your best to learn everything about horses including but not limited to, being able to know if something is wrong with a horse and what you need to do if yours becomes injured, knowing what is required of you as a horse owner, learning horse behivours and diets, safety on the ground as well as safety riding a horse, what you need to do to properly take care of a horse, and I can't stress enough about safety! If you don't know what you are doing you can get yourself severly injured and the horse too. I hope you decide to get into horses because it is actually very rewarding if you go about it the right way!
Thanks Very Much this helped me a lot I know Its a huge responsibility and I probably wont be able to look after a horse because no one in my family has had much experience with horses so I might go and take lessons or just use the opportunity to ride my friends horses, I might go for horse treks around the area Thanks.
