I NEED A HORSE!!!! i love horses and i really want one.my friens tory got a horse last summer. my mom said its a posibility to get one.i was dreaming every night about having a horse after that.they havent said anything about it and win i bring horses up they allways change the subject.im sorry of making this so long but i am in need of your help.
we also need more money.can i get money out of my UGMA account(uniform gift to minor account)?
so my question is, how can i get my mom to buy me a horse?
NOte: i no how much responability they are and how expencive they are so dont mention that please. (link)

Well, I know you know the expense, but the truth of it is, not everybody can afford a horse. My parents can't so I lease three amazing horses. (No it isn't more expensive because we don't pay for one, one I half lease, and the other I lease for shows and lessons so I really only pay for the half lease.) If I were you, I'd sit down with your parents and ask them to tell you exactly why they won't buy you a horse and believe them when they say it isn't so you are unhappy. Also, even if you could get money out of your UGMA account to buy him or her, that would only cover about 1/4 of the cost during the first year alone. Have you considered vet fees, farrier bills...food?
The next thing I want to address is that owning a horse isn't everything. 6 out of the 8 people from my barn who I showed with today lease the horse they rode and nobody thinks we are worse than the ones the own. In fact, the ones that leased generally place higher in their classes. Also, it doesn't change how much we love our horses. Take me and my pony who I don't pay for, for example. I've had so many people think I own him and they have almost all told me that they have never seen a person love her pony as much as me and that love is returned. Leasing is perfect, especially when the situation is right. I take care of him (my pony) and can ride him every day for the price of a half lease at my barn. Think about the horse situation you are in right now. Do you take lessons on what you consider the best school horse in the world? Do you (will you) lease the best pony you've ever ridden? Think about how much you love him or her, and then think that if you had your own horse, you wouldn't be able to ride him or her. Yes, the glass is half full.
Third, things are usually better when we have to work for them. If you get the horse of your dreams in the near future or in twenty years, you will probably enjoy him or her ewven more because you knew you had to work and it was what you always wanted. For instance, my trainer (a very much loved and praised trainer not only by her students but also by many other trainers and horse people) got her start because she wanted a horse so badly when she was about 12 that she started riding a cow. When her uncle saw that, he got her a pony to lease, but even that was for the summer only. Another adult rider at my barn (specilizes in training green horses)didn't own her first horse until she was almost thirty. Therefore, don't be discouraged if you can't have a horse now.
Sorry that was so long but I hope I helped!

I know you are not supposed to cut you horse's mane with scissors, so how do you cut it? (link)
| |
You can use scissors, but it is not recommended. We use puling combs and I'll try to exaplin how the best I can. You take a small piece of the hair and run the comb through to the end. Then you wrap the hair around the teeth of the comb and gently yank the hair out. Sorry, that was exaplined really poorly. I would have somebody physically show you how, that's how I learned!

Any techniques to get a white horse clean and keep it that way???
My family is taking care of a fleabit gray and he loves being dirty ALL the time. I'd like to know if there are any whitening/cleaning products or procedures that work especially well (durr I know that a bath helps, but he hates it and we can't do it often). Is there such thing as spray-on whiteners? Anything that takes out yellow tail stains quickly? And I'd also like to know more about spray-on dirt repellers and if they work well...
Give me the best products (they are hard to find when they all claim to be the best)! (link)

It is extremely hard to keep any gray horse clean (I have a fleabitten who I show so I know). Just make sure he or she is bathed the propert amount and that he or she is groomed every day. Other than that, there are some products made expecially for gray horses but I'm not sure exactly what they are called. I would suggest going to your local tack shop and asking them.
Another product that is kinda like the gray horse secret of our barn (passed to me only in a desperate time by a desperate owner...haha, so dramatic) is baby wipes. Just wipe them over a yellow spot and its gone like magic!

As they have already said, break up with him. It may be hard and you may be scared about what he will do. However, you will break up eventaully (I'm assuming you are about my age), and the longer you hang on, the harder it will be for both of you. You will keep thinking that can you make it work if it worked this time, probably. He will have become even more attached to you and might actually do something. If you are uncomfortable, get out now!
