Buying a horse is exciting, but it’s also really easy to overlook something that ends up costing you later. I’ve bought and sold a lot of horses over the years, both professionally and personally, and I’ve made some expensive mistakes along the way. This free horse buying guide covers five of the mistakes I think every horse buyer should know about before making a decision. Whether you’re looking for your first horse or your tenth, knowing what to look for before you buy can save you a lot of money, frustration and heartache later.

What’s Inside

You’ll learn about five mistakes that can be surprisingly easy to make when buying a horse, including things that may not become obvious until after you’ve already brought the horse home.

We’ll talk about doing your homework before you fall in love with a horse, looking beyond what you see during a single visit, understanding the importance of the people involved in the purchase, protecting yourself before money changes hands, and thinking beyond the purchase price itself.

My goal isn’t to make buying a horse scary. It’s to help you slow down, ask better questions and make a decision you feel good about.

About Mariam

I’ve been a horsewoman for over 30 years and I’m the person behind Horseaholic. I’ve trained professionally, bought and sold horses, rescued and rehabbed horses, bred horses, shown horses, and made enough expensive mistakes of my own to know how much the decisions we make before buying a horse can matter.

Horseaholic is where I share what I’ve learned, what I’m still learning and real life with my own horses.
