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.
Choosing the right horse isn’t just about protecting your investment. It’s also about setting both you and the horse up for the best possible future together. My goal is to help you know what to look for, ask better questions and make a thoughtful decision that’s right for both of you.
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.
