Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: The Top 5 Most Common Mistakes To Avoid When Buying A horse

When you buy a horse you want to make sure it is
the right horse for you. There are so many
choices available that it is often difficult to
know how to make the right decision.

Here are five of the most common mistakes people
make when buying a horse:

1.Buying a Green Horse. A green horse is either a
very young horse or a horse that has not received
much training. Unless you're very experienced
with horses avoid buying a green or untrained
horse. Training a horse requires years of
experience and takes months of dedication and
work. Training a horse is a job for the experts,
so if you are not an expert don't try to train a
horse.

2.Ruling Out an Older Horse. Many older horses
are ideal for beginners. They are usually
experienced with even temperaments and make great
beginner's horses. An older horse who is healthy
and well trained is a far better purchase than a
younger untrained horse. Most of the top trainers
agree that those pupils who buy an experienced
horse always learn more quickly and find riding
more enjoyable.

3.Buying a Foal For Your Child to Grow Up With.
In Hollywood movies you may see sweet stories of
children and young foals growing up together but
this is fiction and not real life. Foals and
young horses do not make good pets for young
children. Foals especially are very unpredictable
- horses being flight creatures by nature. An
older and well trained horse or pony would be a
much safer choice for your child.

4.Buying From an Auction.Unless you're an
experienced horseperson it's best to avoid buying
a horse at an auction. Horses may not react
normally at an auction due to the busy atmosphere
of the event. Regrettably there are some Horse
Sellers who will do anything to sell a horse even
if that horse is totally unsuitable for you like
using drugs to sedate the horse. Or another much
more difficult trick to detect is where the
dealer does not give the horse water for several
days before the sale so the horse appears much
calmer than it normally is.

5.Buying a Horse on Impulse. It's easy to fall in
love with a horse or pony but resist the
temptation to buy on impulse. Just because the
horse is a beautiful colour does not mean it is
the right horse for you from a temperament point
of view. Give yourself some time to think and get
to know the horse, make sure you buy a horse that
is suited for your needs. By following these
guidelines it will be easier to find the right
horse for you.
