Right now I get a 10% commission when a horse sells. I train the horses prior to them being shown for sale but there are way too many horses to keep up with and nothing is selling. I am going to start charging per ride but I don’t know how much. I’m young (18) and just starting out but I can ride better than most. The horses are mostly young green thoroughbreds.
Im doing an assignment and haven’t really much experience with horses so hope someone who has could help me out.

I have a saddle with a blanket, english bridle, western bridle and two hoof protectors. They have only been used a little bit and I was wondering how much a good guess would be on how much they would cost.

Do I need to add the size of the saddle? how do I figure out how to do that?

I know this question really depends on the person, but in general, how long should a person be riding/working with horses before owning a horse. A friend of mine has been riding for 3 years and working at a barn for 3 1/2 years, and she feels she is ready to own a horse. Do you think this is too short of a time?
My dream is owning horses. Should I live in a apratment or live in a house on horse property? I read how much one horse’s care would cost a year. (vet bills, farrier, hay for summer and or other seasons, cost of hay per horse, fly spray, wormers, farm fence and barn maintanence, and ect.) But right now I’m not sure what direction I should go in. I understand how much horses cost just to buy. And I also know that someone would need to make a decent living just to take care of themelves, their car (gas and insurance), mortage, water, heating and gas bills. But how much money would I need to make of year to take care of my horse(s), me and my house bills? And what if you are living by yourself?
I am not a yard person. I love horses!!

Buying a horse can be a very complex task. For those people that may think a horse is horse could find themselves facing big problems. Each horse is different and needs to be looked at in such a way. All horses will have some problems, it is a matter of do you have the skills to properly deal with them.
Let me say up front one big secret I think there is to having a great horse, it’s all in the relationship. If you want to have a successful and fulfilling relationship with your horse you have to get along. The famous Will Rogers quote, “The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.” That is true quote but you must remember that the opposite can be true also, you could begin to dislike and even hate a horse you are not having fun with. The remarkable thing about a horse, is that over time they will begin to represent a mirror image of you. If you don’t know how to handle a horse then your horse’s problems can grow. A horse has a wonderful knack to exploit your imperfections. That why it is imperative to have the horsemanship skills and tools to be able to “train” a horse. From the selection, training, management and to horseman, I have defined four sections to examine in order for you to take the steps to excel as a horseperson.
Selection: The horse you choose, is the horse you must live with and deal with on a daily basis. If you select a horse with many “challenges” then you must embrace ways to develop and learn to possess the skills to correct those “problems”. There is no horse that is challenge free or problem free. Some horses just have less challenges then others. Your first horse should not have challenges that can in injure you. Challenges can be in many forms:
Age – Breed – Health – Abuse – Attitude – Neglect – Never Trained – Poorly Trained – Time to devote to the horse – Facilities not available
It is best if you shop around and educate yourself on what you really want in your horse. Love at first sight is not a good buying strategy for a horse. Inexperience in horse selection can be anything from unpleasant to very painful, including death. The wrong horse in the wrong hands can be a deadly combination. The average horse is ten times more powerful than you. Horse ownership should be an absolute joy and not filled with fear and anxiety. Selection of your first horse is paramount to having a good horse experience. The old saying of a green horse and a green rider soon turns to black and blue was founded on truth.
Psychological Selection: We may unknowingly be psychological mirrors to the horses we gravitate towards, or the horses may be psychological mirrors of us. Either way it is very common for the person buying a horse for personal use, to select a horse for subconscious reasons. I only address this here so you are aware of it. It is too complex an issue to discuss in its entirety here.
Cost: Good horses are expensive to purchase. But the initial price of the horse may be shortly eclipsed by the constant cost of the routine expenses it may take to properly care for a horse. Veterinarian bills, feed bills, farrier bills, continuing education fees, tack, stable fees, etc.
Time: The time you spend with your horse is important. The horse’s favorite companion is routine and habit. For a horse to develop well, he should also be mentally and emotionally stimulated. It takes time to teach a horse something new or to refine prior learned tasks. It takes lots of time to build exceptional communication between you and the horse. Again learning in horsemanship is a two way street, you must also develop your horsemanship skills. My personal goal as a horsemen is having people to try to figure out how you got the horse to do that maneuver, with no obvious signs of a cue. When people always ask you how it is you have the best mannered and such a well trained horse, that is when you are becoming a horseman. In my opinion there is no more noble quest than to be a superb horseman. Pat Parelli considers a horse green with less than 1,000 hours of training. If you work/train/ride your horse one hour each day, it will take about 3 years to reach 1,000 hours.
Breed selection: There is no perfect breed. Each breed always have pluses and minuses. Each breed has it’s limitations and attributes. Some breed organizations are large, others are small. You should select your horse based on your intended use and individual flare. Arabian horses will make poor roping horses, but they make superb endurance racers. Quarter Horses were originally bred to produce an all around ranch horse that was extremely fast running a quarter mile. Walking horses make excellent trail horses, their gait and endurance allows for a long pleasant trail ride. Each breed may have their temperaments, some may be “hot” or “cold”. Horse shows, fairs, television programs and the internet are just a few places to learn about different breeds. Most people will be more than happy to embellish enthusiastically about “their” breed of horse if asked.
Age: Young horses can be very enjoyable, most of the time they are “baggage free”. They can also become nightmares in the wrong hands. Raising a young horse from weanling to riding age can be the best thing ever, to both you and the horse, if handled properly. It is not wise to have your first horse be a horse younger than six years old, that has been properly trained. Your first horse should never be a green horse. A ten year old well seasoned horse is worth its weight in gold. They are usually very mature and commonly have only a few veterinary problems. Your first horse should be your buddy. A horse that will help you learn at your pace. A green or young horse will learn at their pace. If you are unprepared to teach the horse, let someone else start and train your horse. But you must be in on the process. If you don’t know how to train or ride a horse you really need some professional guidance.
Place of Purchase: Buyer beware was a phrase born by dealing with horse traders in the old days. Auction barns can be a place to get a very good deal or a perpetual problem. The best place to purchase a horse is from a well respected breeder or private owner. The first question you should ask is: Why are you selling this horse? A breeder makes a living selling horses. His or her response should be, “That’s what I do.” A private owner may have numerous different responses. Hopefully they will be frank and honest with you. It is possible to pay an experienced horseman or horsewoman to help you select the horse that is right for you. The phrase many people use today in selecting a horse is called “matching personalities”. Don’t feel you have to be coerced into buying the first horse you see. There are millions of horses out there, buy the one you think will suit you best. For your own protection ask for a 30 day trial period. If the horse turns out not to be the horse for you, a honorable person should take the horse back. A person that is truly interested in the welfare of the horse will want what’s best for the horse. The seller should want what’s best for the horse, if not, you are a buying a horse from the wrong person. The horse should be in the same condition it was when you bought it, if you expect to return it.
Normal wear and tear: The only time a horse is usually perfect is the minute he is born. Horses will get cuts, scars, bumps, bruises and other sundry of problems. Chronic medical conditions that cost large sums of money to treat or that will impede the normal use that you expect with your horse is entirely different. HYPP, laminitis, club foot, heaves, and other serious diseases/syndromes can become a horrendous ordeal. It may be beneficial to have a veterinarian conduct a “vet check”. The veterinarian can point out any physical pitfalls. That of course will require a fee, but may in the long run be a lot cheaper.
Horse Home: A horse needs space and/or daily exercise. Horses in the wild average 20 miles of travel a day. The smaller the confinement, the more potential problems you will have with your horse’s emotional state. Horses do much better emotionally with a buddy of some type. Horses feel more comfortable in groups, as in the wild they bond together in bands for safety. The point being that horses are plains animals, and rely on other horses in the herd/band to spot potential enemies/threats. When there is no one else to help look out, a horse can become emotionally over concerned and may not rest well. The area in which the horse is confined should be free of hazards.
Horses, as the joke goes, could injure themselves in a padded room. Another truism, the more expensive the horse the greater chance they will hurt themselves. The area in which a horse is housed needs to be inspected for various hazards a horse may find during their free time.
Horses are one of the greatest gift you can buy for yourself. A lot of thought and research should go into this very important purchase. Educate yourself so that you will have a fulfilling experience and know the joy of horse ownership.
