Thinking of buying a horse?
Amazing. Love that for you.
Just a tiny heads-up first…
Buying a horse is a bit like:
Getting a second full-time job
Adopting a very large toddler
Entering a long-term relationship with mud
And voluntarily donating all spare income to the universe
You will tell yourself things like:
“I’ll just pop to the yard for half an hour.”
This is a lie.
You will also say:
“I won’t need much stuff.”
Another lie.
Your horse will need rugs for:
Rain
No rain
Cold
Mild cold
Wind
Emotional reasons
You will become:
Weirdly knowledgeable about poo 💩
Able to smell rain before the Met Office
Comfortable standing in a field questioning your life choices at 6am
Deeply attached to an animal that regularly tries to kill itself with a bucket
Holidays will now mean:
Finding cover
Feeling guilty
Checking the yard WhatsApp
Wondering if they miss you (they don’t)
BUT…
Despite the mud.
Despite the cost.
Despite the emotional rollercoaster and the “why am I like this” moments…
There will be that look.
That soft nose.
That quiet moment where they choose you.
And suddenly you’ll understand why horse people are the way they are.
So yes.
Buy the horse.
Just know…
You’re not buying a pet.
You’re buying a lifestyle, a personality trait, and a very muddy soul connection 😂🐴💛
